INTRODUCTION
SWOOSH PAVILION 2008 Summer Pavilion, Architectural Association students, Bedford Square, London
The pavilion has been designed and constructed by students in Intermediate Unit 2 att th the A Architectural hit t l A Association i ti S School h l off A Architecture hit t (AA) (AA). Its It timber ti b components t were fabricated, again by the students, at the AA’s workshop in Hooke Park, Dorset. The Project is an exploration of contemporary tools and techniques of architectural modeling and visualization. It incorporates new fabrication methods and digital crafting techniques such as computer-integrated manufacturing. The aim is to experiment with – and exploit to the full – the imaginative spatial and material effects that can be extracted from these new-found techniques. Design Brief: create a pavilion for 100 people with some level of enclosure
01 CASE STUDY
DESIGN CONCEPT
Concept: Valeria Garcia; Scheme design with Katarina Scoufaridou and Joy Sriyuksiri; development with Zamri Arip, Naoki Kotaka and Eyal Shaviv. Concept of the Swoosh Pavilion came of studying the deformation of an optical model in 2D. Optical qualities were extracted from the visual dynamic and interpreted p in 3D –the flow and movement. “We wanted to create an interactive space where people could share different experiences, like holding informal meetings, sitting, having lunch — all under one roof,” says student Eyal Shaviv.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
As for the form, fluidity was the driving factor. “The main goal was to create a sense of flow,” says student Katrina Scoufaridou. “We have used many vertical pieces, but because they are connected to form a grid, the whole structure has a sense of cohesion.” The plan is devised around two setting points, A and B, and two identical columns, A01 and B01, which run between the two. From the setting points, 30 more columns spiral outwards in each direction, creating a completely symmetrical form. Columns A01 and B01 form an archway, 3.3m in height. The remaining columns then get taller as they cantilever out to create a partly enclosed space.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
At column B17 and A17, the pavilion reaches its highest point of 4.5m. From here, the beams reduce in height, height eventually reconnecting with the floor to create benches at the tail end of each spiral. Ten equally spaced beams run in the voids between the columns, with the spacing becoming increasingly dense as the length of the columns reduce. “The beams get closer and closer together until eventually they are close enough to form a comfortable seat at the ends,� says Katrina Scoufaridou.
01 CASE STUDY
DESIGN PROCESS
Software programs Rhino and AutoCAD were used to design the original concept: AutoCAD mainly for measurements and labeling, and Rhino for quicker modeling and 3D visualization. The pavilion’s complex geometry meant they had to switch from a computing scripting model to handcrafted 3D models, calculating many details by themselves.

FABRICATION
Need separate pieces for accurate lining up of cuts and hole has to be drill in an angle manually. “Because there are so many separate pieces, we had to be very vigilant in labeling, separating and storing them all,� says Shaviv.
CONSTRUCTION
On site safety measurements and working with contractor.
01 CASE STUDY
MATERIAL
The structure is made almost entirely out of Kerto, a laminated veneer lumber donated by Finnforest. Students cut 549 beams from the 27mm sheets using a CNC machine. Since the 62 columns were too large to cut from one 51mm sheet, many were formed out of two or three separate pieces. pieces
01 CASE STUDY
CONNECTION
A variety of bolts connect the beams and columns, although most are M12 hexagonal. The students decided to use bolts rather than screws so the structure could be more easily dismantled and rebuilt. “The easiest solution would have been to drill straight through,” says Shaviv. “I t d we created “Instead, t d pockets k t for f the th b bolts lt with ith pre-cutt h holes. l Thi This way, you can reuse the bolt and you don’t cause any damage or weaken the structure. With screws, reassembling would have been a problem.”

TIME LASPE PHOTOGRAPHS ON SITE
Shots taken every 5mins from 11:45 to 15:30 on a weekday at Architecture Building G/F as a test run to observe people activities on site. It was found that a shot every 5mins is not recording the people movements and the time interval is too short as well.

VIDEO RECORDING ON SITE
Video was filmed from 6:00 to 24:00 on weekday at Architecture Building G/F to gather information such as people movement and pattern of people gathering at different period of times. Information is then translated into diagrams.

INTRODUCTION
The proposed ceiling installation in the ground floor foyer of the ABP Faculty Building and secondly, the functions of the concourse as a circulation route as well as a gathering space. The overall form is derived from a study of stationary and moving bodies within the concourse: the common gathering spaced create peaks in the undulating surface, while a circulation path is carved in between these spaces as the troughs of the form. The modules create large permeable openings at gathering h i spaces that h correspond d to main i entry ways ((such h as the h stairwell, i ll the h elevator, etc), while large overlapping, enclosed gestures are created at independent gathering spaces (e.g. near exhibition shelves). The modules in between slowly shift from being more open, to more enclosed, and vice versa, creating a controlled rate of change in the permeability of the skin.
