Pavilion Models

As regards to Unit 17, I started to experiment with cheap materials such as paper, cardboard, and straws to create different possible designs for our 3 proposals of the Pavilion Seated Structures.


Proposal 1 Development


Starting from one shape of this type of folding almost like a terraced design, I made use of two identical shapes to be able to play around with the layout of the Pavilion. The images show the development of the possible outcomes...

               Idea 2






              Idea 3
             ...leading to Final Design







The reason I chose this format is because it has a stronger element than the other two. Despite having two symmetrical shapes, in this layout I managed to alter the design into not making it look symmetrical at all. The shape makes it interesting for the people to walk under one section to sit at the other end, from where the seating is created through its design of the terraced element.

Proposal 2 Development


For my second proposal I decided to use straws to create a concept of continuous rods which vary in height, and thus reflecting the idea of movement within the Pavilion's structure. Also the seating inside is done in an inclined format to enhance this movement created, and also to better interact with the Pavilion's structure itself. The reason that the rods are evenly spaced apart is to install a lighting in between each rod to project the light upwards to ultimately create an interesting atmosphere with the lighting and shadows being created here.

Proposal 3 Development


And finally for my last proposal, I designed a Pavilion which reflects the idea of complete relaxation. Its curved shape is achieved from a single sheet in equal panels intertwined into this form. The relaxed atmosphere is emphasized with the type of seating running along both sides of the central loop being 2m long.
