Victor Pasmore was appointed as urban and architectural designer at Peterlee. This was an opportunity for him to work through and expand his concepts. The Pavilion is made of reinforced concrete that was cast in situ. The design is made up of large geometric planes of white concrete, the only decoration being two oval murals.
There have been a number of campaigns to have the sculpture demolished. The area in which it is situated is a English Heritage Registered Park and Garden. (Ref 1)
