Located at the Queen Victoria Garden, The Hearth is a light-emitting entity that benefits from the symbiotic relationship between the two organisms that forms the pavilion:

​

Host - the orthogonal cubic form acting as the external structure.

​

Parasite - the relaxed minimal surface that articulates space within the internal volume of the host.

Although seemingly parasitic at first glance, the concept of light casting and catching establishes a deeper and actual mutualism connection between the two. Whereas the parasite actively casts lights through its perforations by either filtering in sunlight or internal lighting, the host reciprocate the gesture by acting as a surface for the lights to be projected on. Through this relationship, the parasite benefits the host by providing the host with sources of light and patternation to the dull and dark interior walls. The host in turn benefits the parasite by providing a volume for the parasite to latch onto while simultaneously catching the lights produced.
