The few known photographs of the pavilion exterior (all from the same tripod position) were analyzed in Photoshop using perspective lines and some assumptions to determine the original's size, scale and, more importantly, proportions.
This information was used in Rhino 3d to create a 3-dimensional model of the structure.
The Rhino model was used to create renderings for review (above) and for building plans from which the final 1/3 scale reproduction was fabricated from CNC cut MDF, Styrofoam, and applied faux concrete finish (below.)

Whatever it is, the lower right corner (in plan) must fall along the sight line
(in red in upper left panel.)
I was hoping it would fall on the "wing" section to the right of the pavilion, thereby mirroring the "Trevis" stele. That however is impossible unless the right wing was significantly longer. If it were symmetrically placed on the wing, as is, it would be visible between the pavilion and the "Il Libro" stele in the perspective view.
At any rate, since what or where it is is unknown, and nothing like it appears in any of Depero's notes or drawings, I decided to not include it in the reproduction. Still, I thought it was interesting and should be noted. Here, at least. I hope that sometime another image of the piece or something in Fortunato Depero's papers comes up to resolve the issue.
Although I may be the only person in the world to be aware of it or care.
