The Mirror Pavilion on Marseille's Marina is a 46m by 22m structure made of polished stainless steel that reflects the pedestrian area of ​ ​ the harbour.

The authors of the project say that this steel structure almost does not invade the urban landscape, because from a distance it seems to be only a silvery line on the horizon. But when a person is under a mirrored roof, he becomes both a spectator and part of the urban landscape. From myself I will add one more undoubted plus - on a hot summer day, the pavilion gives a saving shadow : )
