Pritzker Pavilion

Overview

A trellis of sound over a civic lawn—architecture frames public gathering and performance.


Trellis Engineering

  • Distributed speakers synced with trellis geometry.
  • Steel spans choreograph sound dispersion and shade.

Acoustic Strategy

Component Role
Canopy Direct early reflections
Trellis Even sound distribution
Lawn Absorption + audience energy

How to Experience

  • Walk the lawn during soundcheck.
  • Sit at different distances to read dispersion.
  • Watch sunset—light and sound mingle under the trellis.
