The Rain Room Pavilion is located close to Sharjah Corniche; it stands on the site between Al Mujarrah park to the Northwest and Al Aruba road to the South-east. Al Aruba road dates back to 1966 and is one of the first major engineering project in Sharjah. The Pavilion houses the ‘Rain Room’, a site-specific installation created by Random International, that provides an immersive experience of continuous rainfall. When visitors enter the room, they are directed to navigate intuitively and carefully through the dark underground space in order to protect themselves from the downpour. As the visitors walk through the room, which uses 1,200 liters of self-cleaning, recycled water, their movements trigger motion sensors that pause the rainfall when their movements are detected. The Pavilion is volumetrically simple and open to its surroundings on three sides. It plays with the interior/exterior ambiguity by bringing selected character and materiality of the adjacent urban area into its interior. The rainroom space is sunken 2m below ground level. Accessible through the lobby, the lead up area to the rainroom is a longitudinal hallway facing Al Mujarrah park, which turns into a narrow, enclosed and progressively dark space with a descending ramp. The ramp leads to one corner of the rainroom with diagonally across an exit through a partially enclosed ascending ramp with Al Aruba road coming gradually to sight. The Rain Room building in Sharjah has been designed in collaboration Sharjah Art Foundation and SpaceContinuum Design Studio.
