Powder Blue Orthogonal Pavilion
Powder Blue Orthogonal Pavilion (2008) is a large-scale sculptural pavilion by Glasgow-based artist Toby Paterson, known for his works influenced by modernist architecture and the visual language of post-war urban environments. Constructed from Kerto plywood, exterior paint, and steel, the work measures approximately 1200 × 1200 × 300 cm, creating an architectural form that occupies space somewhere between sculpture, built structure, and spatial drawing.
The pavilion was exhibited in Potters Fields Park, London, as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2008, where a series of artist-designed pavilions were installed across London's parks. Paterson's contribution formed part of Portavilion, a programme commissioning site-responsive temporary structures by internationally recognised artists.
Visually, the pavilion showcases Paterson's characteristic geometric abstraction, drawing on architectural fragments and spatial memory and translating them into a three-dimensional structure that visitors could move around and experience physically.
