Designed by Korean architectural form Mass Studies, this Open
Pavilion acts as a ‘Public Living Room,’ for social interactions in Hakwoon
Park where it is constructed. Open Pavilion is enclosed by forests nearby to a
number of apartments. The different aspect if this pavilion is that it’s
introverted, unlike other traditional pavilions which are extroverted. It gets
people together in a location similar to a small stadium, where 70 seating’s
stacked in four levels are integrated in the structure itself.
This structural system consists of a massive chain net formed
from the lower seating section to the upper roof section. The unbroken pattern
of different sized and shaped steel tube arcs form this flattened sphere-like
structure, making it solidly steady. The lower half seating can be seen as an
arrangement of bent steel tube chairs in a combined structure, whose
interlocking acts as links in a chain. The seating is created with use of
hammocks among these links. The purpose of the roof’s design is to hold up a
suspended translucent casing to prevent the sun and rain.
