The project explores material innovation and structural assembly, utilizing wood and repurposed glass bottles to create a functional and aesthetically engaging pavilion. The design emphasizes sustainability, modularity, and light interaction through material composition.
Concept Statement:
A fusion of natural and recycled materials, the pavilion highlights the interplay between solid and transparent elements, creating a dynamic space that evolves with light and shadow. Through layering, joinery techniques, and seating integration, the project transforms ordinary materials into an immersive architectural experience.
Sketches
Material Selection
Initial Iterations: Explored concrete and rice paper.
Final Materials: Wood – Primary structural component for durability and warmth.
Glass Bottles – Repurposed as light-diffusing elements, creating texture and transparency.
Design Development (Plans & Sections)
Structural Concept
Inner Circle: A thinner framework defining the core space.
Outer Circle: Enhanced with seating, stairs, and modular joinery.
Seating & Stairs Integration: Encouraging user engagement and fluid circulation.
