Apollo Pavilion, Modernist sculpture in Peterlee, England.

The Apollo Pavilion combines concrete geometric shapes and pedestrian bridges across a water feature in the middle of a residential district.

Victor Pasmore completed this Grade II* listed building in 1970 as part of an urban regeneration project for the coal mining community.

The structure represents the integration of public art within urban spaces, functioning as both a walkway and an outdoor gathering space.

Visitors can access the pavilion at any time and walk through its multiple levels while observing the interplay of light and shadow.

The pavilion features stark white concrete forms that create different visual patterns throughout the day as the sun moves across the structure.

Location: Peterlee
