Pavilion Design

Definition | pavilion: A temporary building or tent which is used for public entertainment or exhibitions and is often large with a lot of space and light. 

Pavilion Objective

• Resting place
  

• Outdoor/open

• Fun

• Inspirational
  

• Flexibility

After the brainstorming and introduction, we first started off the pavilion unit by playing around with paper and trying to create something that has a unique style that people can utilize for some sort of entertainment.

Officially starting the unit, we started writing down inspirations from other designs. In the beginning, I began by doing simple sketches and was pretty confused about what a pavilion was, which took a small amount of time that we were given to work on this design project.

^ I started this design project by planning on diving deeper into creating a bridge. However, I decided to revamp the design later because it was too simple and non-utilizable for daily use.

^ After many failed attempts at sketching, I created this relatively simple layout of a pavilion that resembled a little hut with waves to be its cover.

^ The sketch above was going to be the finishing design for the pavilion. However, once we went on to making the prototypes, I realized that It was too unstable only with one support beam/circle. If this Pavillion were going to be built on the campus of ISB, it would need more stability considering how big it is. [Currently, there are nonexisting names.]

^ So, after finishing the prototype, I went back to simple sketching and finalized the final design but only this time with two support beams/circles.

SIMPLE REFLECTION

My pavilion design, compared to others, is quite simple, with only the waves being unique. I achieved the goal of making it simple and designing it to have more flexibility which was the original focus of this design. It could be used as a host for some ISB community-building events, or it could just simply be a resting place where anyone is allowed to stay.
