The Wildlife Viewing Pavillion at Tucson Audobon Society’s Paton Center for Hummingbirds was designed by D U S T to celebrate the founders of the pavilion. The site for the pavilion used to be a private residence owned by Wally and Mary Paton. The Paton family would welcome migratory hummingbirds into their garden. The pavilion uses a roof made of steel ribbons that echoes the hummingbird’s flutter. The roof twists when it rains which allows rainwater to fall into the catch basin in order to pollinate the plants. The columns are made of white oak which mirrors the desert landscape around it. The pavilion was made to gracefully age as time goes on. This is a sanctuary for hummingbirds and humans alike. The pavilion celebrates the Paton family and their love for hummingbirds.
