The materiality of and patterns in the pavilion are inspired by Danish vernacular architecture and Viking ships. The structure illustrates the unique Danish cultural connection to nature, especially the ocean. Rope is used to symbolise the weaving together of nature and culture. The patterns in the wood and rope interact through their aesthetic similarities. Because of the gaps between the wood paneling and hanging ropes, visitors are able to view nature - the park - through culture - the vernacular architectural patterns. The structure allows light and weather in, thus allowing the interior and exterior to patina similarly, emphasizing the ephemerality of the pavilion. The cube encourages active participation, as an ambulatory space without benches, aiming to have visitors explore both the interior and exterior spaces. Named after Goethe's poem from 1819, the structure's conceptual goal is to think of landscape as a meaningful cultural concept as opposed to an idealised construct isolated from urban space.
