Project #2 completed

Over the past three weeks I have been abstracting the essence of the lid form project (see project #1).  I settled on working with ideas of shell and aperture.  The result was a pavilion space for an design critique. I was able to apply color maps to the surfaces of the form to denote what module type the system needed.  These maps were generated by analyzing both programmatic and structural elements.  

 

My official statement for the presentation:

This pavilion is a literal extension of the school of design, sited in the quad just east of the school.  The pavilion consist of three parallelogram modules that moderate light levels of the space through precisely positioning the modules to achieve a prescribed programmatic function.  The use of a double skin allows for a wider variety of lighting conditions while providing structural support and creates textured zones that differentiate pin up space from digital presentation space.  The pavilion is intended to be assembled in late March, and serve as critique and exhibition space through late May.
