Part 1: The Living Food Object

The acorn squash interior was a focal point throughout the project. The idea of separate seed pockets within the squash was explored as a “space within a space” concept.

Part 2: Designing a Spatial System

The “space within a space” concept was further explored through the creation of study models. Each model was constructed on a foam base. Different spaces were created by dividing the platform into various sections (such as using foam board as a partition between acrylic planes in Study Model 2).

Part 2: Designing a Spatial System

A modular system was chosen for the final model.

Three identical modules were created with various connection points. Wood acts as an extension of the module allowing it to connect to other modules by slotting into gapped spaces intended for connection.

Similarly to the study models, each module is built on a foam board base that is divided into four quadrants across two planes.

Part 3: A “Proto” Gathering Space

Scale figures were used to inhabit the modular system at various scales. Ideas of how humans would interact with the space was considered.

A particular element from the system, the extended wood connection pieces, was used for seating. This element was further developed throughout the creation of the pavilion.

Part 3: A “Proto” Gathering Space

In connection with previous study models and the modular system, the pavilion is built on a foam board base and slides into its surrounding topography.
