Pavilion Project

What is the project about?

  • the project was to make a pavilion that can be built in ISB.

My process:

 

(practiced drawing creative pavilions)

(first pavilion made with paper)

(gathered all ideas and made my own pavilion)

materials used: paper and glue gun

inspiration from: everyday objects and other great pavilions

What key decisions did you make and why? (What do you want your audience to feel/ experience?)

  • Few of the classmates asked how the person going to get out of the chair. At first, I thought of re-designing my pavilion so people can sit and get out easily. However, in the end, I decided to follow the “Form Follows Function” because re-designing would destroy my intention of making an “em fan chair.”

How is your design successful?

  • I think my design was successful. Drawing is a good practice before I make something. However, I don’t always draw because what I draw never comes out exactly as I expected. Most of the time, I first imagine what I want to build, and when new ideas come to my mind, I sketch or write them down. One of my strengths was not to be stressed out just to draw a perfect model on the paper, but to think briefly and turn them into action.

What needs to improve about your product/process? Why?

  • One of the feedback I got was “How are the tips going to handle the weight of a person?” Although I didn’t apply it to my pavilion, I will add a base under the three tips to make the pavilion stable.

    Hi Kanglee, well done for such a unique and interesting project! I especially like the different experiments you did to generate ideas. I also like that your design is unconventional – is it even architecture??? Your reflections about your drawing and process are really thoughtful, and your iPad sketches are super!

    For most of your assessment, I scored you in the upper range of ME. To improve, I would suggest that you continue to practice your drawing and presentation skills.

    Well done!
