OCA designed an amphitheater, visitor center/café and an observation tower as key elements of the SWA-designed park. The modest-scaled pavilions were conceived of as sculptural adaptations to the sinuous contours that define the experience of the park and reflections on the history of the site as a center of industrial research and manufacture, providing visitors with a variety of spatial experiences and vantage points from which to appreciate the Cultural Center in its broader urban and temporal context.
