Pavilion Design Proposals

A design made from a repetitive shape creating an organic form structure; the seating and the walls are one whole structure. When one looks at it, this may seem as a blown up creature that one could go through. The structure may seen also that it could roll round but stability is created having the same amount of material on both sides and the bottom part would be fixed to the ground. Perspex would be a very striking material for this design idea but it may be expensive for that large amount. Something that this could be constructed of is old school chairs, using the bottom part and emend the steel tubes to the right angle, this could be an alternative. As this shape is hollow, dirt can accumulate easily in each section, rain isn’t really a problem because there could be an opening in each section and water could flow down, this could be a way of how the structure can be cleaned.

This idea is something different from what we are used to, one has to go through it to admire it completely. Consisted of various different angles and tilted walls, the different thing about this is that the floor is irregular. It has three entrances one of which has the seating next to it; one can sit both looking into the pavilion and looking out at the view. This would be made out of various materials which have different feels so when one is going trough or just looking at it could see their differences and feel them. Everything would be joined in an interlocking matter by using different joints. Each panel would be produced and cut as a whole then joined with the others on site. As it has these various angles and the floor is not flat there might be a problem as dirt can accumulate underneath where it’s not reachable. Another point is that if it’s rainy some parts on the inside can accumulate water. A set back about this design is that it’s not wheelchair accessible.

An idea based on the shadows that the structure creates. Each hole represents a plastic bottle; the bottles would be empty, filled with colour or block. The structure joins in the middle where the seating is formed; where one could sit and admire the various forms and colours created by these various plastic bottles. There would be also some that one could pass over to feel the bottles under your feet. These would be joined together with wire and adhesive. It just has to be fixed well to the ground. The material is very durable so there is now need of constant maintenance or cleaning. One has to take precaution about the bottles with water, to seal them properly to prevent any accidents of any child opening the bottle.

3Ds MAX first trial

These are the first exercise that I have realised in the 3Ds MAX software. Consisting of two basic chairs and a table, in different shapes and styles experimenting to become more confident using this software.

Paper models

 

From different perspectives this model looks different, the arcs of one side are bigger than the other and all join on one side.

 

  Constructed from various angles interlocking into each other, even if it’s almost a block light can still get inside as there is space from the top.

 

 A cave shaped model, tried to work with a circular base but I found myself very limited when trying to create something.

Something different for dinner

Packed Pavillion

The pavilion is the final group-project of the Master Advanced Study at the Chair of Computer Aided Architectural Design (MAS CAAD) at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The CAAD Chair is specialized in the application of information technologies in the field of architecture and in computer-controlled fabrication.

Packed, a pavilion made out of 409 truncated cones, all vary in size, which all together are aimed to fill the surface creating a network. Each cone is different in size, form and position, together all the cones have a common aim to have overall stability, shape, illumination, views and spatial quality. The shapes in cardboard where cut and labled with a G3 Digital cutter, it took 3 men on a period of 10 days over a 24 hour shift to cut all the shapes.

Corrugated cardboard was used to manufacture these cones, a layer on top of the other, 28 in all; of which was cut, glued and labelled with a computer-controlled machine. Weatherproofing is provided by a shrink foil, a packing material like all the other that form the pavilion.

Learning from Nature

Danish architecture 3XN designed this pavilion is built from bio composites with integrated intelligence that creates a dynamic interaction with its physical surroundings and its users for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. This pavilion presents cutting edge possibilities within sustainable and intelligent materials.

‘Learning from Nature’, the name of this pavilion shows the concept is based on nature. Everything is based on nature from materials; the dynamic energy generation to the biological cycle of nature is the fundamental basis for the shape. The pavilion is shaped as a Moebius band to symbolize the biological cycle; and the properties of the construction are very like those of nature, such as the coating of nanoparticles that helps clean the surfaces and clean the air. Additionally, the pavilion is built of biodegradable materials; and as for energy, the pavilion is 100 percent self-sufficient.

Open Pavilion

In Hakwoon park, Korea, Open Pavilion was constructed along with LOT/EK’s Open School and Raumlabor’s Open House as part of the 2010 Anyang Public Art Project. The Open Pavilion was one of the three attractions in the city park, a new kind of pavilion which could be served as a resting place as well as a gathering place.

This pavilion brings people together, the inside is like a miniature stadium, and there are 70 seating’s, stacked in four levels, radiate from a central focal point. Though it is open to the public, the structure performs as a Public Living Room, encouraging intimate social interactions.

Pavillion Made of PVC Tubes

Hoogte Twee Architecten presented this interesting project, a small pavilion built with PVC tubes.

"PVC tubes have inspired us to a design of a special object in which this material is no longer seen as a tube but as a hollow building stone."

My Work

An Effects of Time inspired Neck Brace. The panels of perspex are to hold the neck straight and firmly; there is also a layer of foam for comfort. These two parts can be pulled apart as the foam can be changed to one's style and taste. It closes at the back just like a corset.

 A poster with our capital city Valletta as a theme that is called 'The Maze'. A path round the streets of Valletta was chosen and at each corner a photo was taken, all the photo's were combined together to create this photomontage poster.



Inspired from the waves and the forms that the wind creates in the dessert, here is an unsymmetrical vase. The colours chosen are very warm which gives more the feeling of the hot dessert.

Good art inspires; Good design motivates.
