Pinecote Pavilion – E. Fay Jones

The Pinecote Pavilion is loacted within the Crosby Arboretum in Picayune, Mississippi. The rather simple structure has been one of the most praised architectural works in the state of Mississippi. Jones emphasized the pavilion as a “gathering place” and as “a starting point for nature walks, for talks and discussions about important things in the environment and natural world.” Jones also goes into detail about how he wanted to keep it simple and have every element of the structure clearly visible to all that encounter the building. The woodwork resembles his Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas; simple and sophisticated. The pavilion also is similar to the chapel in terms of how it blends into the natural environment.
