The Burnham Pavilion is designed by Zaha Hadid Archtects to celebrate Chicago's continuing tradition of bold plans and innovative ideas for the Burnham Plan Centennial. The design maintains Chicago's well-known tradition of avant-garde architecture and engineering, at the scale of a temporary pavilion. Situated in Chicago, USA, this pavilion was designed in 2009 and has a 120 metres squared floor, 500 metres squared site, and a footprint of 300 metres squared.
With
use of overlaying methods, intricacy is built up and adorned in the pavilion’s
structure. Burnham pavilion has a complex curved aluminium structure, with each
part formed and welded so as to create its exceptional fluid form. Both the
interior and exterior fabric skins are enclosed tightly around the metal frame
to form its curvilinear shape. The interior skins within the pavilion also
serve as a screen for a video installation which explores Chicago’s past and
future by Thomas Gray.
“Fabric
is both a traditional and a high-tech material whose form is directly related
to the forces applied to it - creating beautiful geometries that are never
arbitrary. I find this very exciting.” – quoted by “Zaha Hadid”.
