Exercise 4 | ARC 107

This multi functional pavilion (primarily used for voting) was designed using similar elements and themes found in John Hejduk’s Wall House 2. (Groningen, Netherlands)

The very playful nature of this design is a very unique approach to the generally solemn act of voting, giving this space a more exciting and lively atmosphere.

This pavilion borrows materials, colors, the “wall” itself, and shapes from the Wall House 2. It also builds off of Hejduk’s “tube-like” method of circulation.

The process of voting heavily influenced this pavilion’s program and overall design. This pavilion offers a covered stage area for candidates to hold public campaign speeches and for civilians to hold events. Three tubes also lead into a cozy, lower area for civilians to occupy.

The circulation of this space is symbolic in the way that it forces all of the voters to “come together,” as in recent years voting has driven people apart.
