The building belongs to the landscape design to emphasize the landscape’s qualities. This pavillon can be seen as "follie", though follies were built for visual effect alone, but like him they werew intended to improve or complete the natural setting.

The upper floor fonctions like a Gazebo, lookout or belvédère in the form of a turret, cupola, or garden house set on a height to give an extensive view. As a structured form, part of garden history: it is the “viewing pavilion”.

The Agora designed for a rural environment is a space for civic exchange offering services to the local community and allowing manging modes of production (organic agriculture, crafts) - and offering spaces for education and creation (artistic and craft). It is a new model to facilitate rural development in the regions. Its aim is to be a meeting place where innovation and tradition complement each other to foster revitalization, diversification and empowerment of regions. This compatibility makes it possible to create a new middle point of balance between civic, social, economic, cultural, educational and environmental.
