Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

Throughout the semester, I learned the advaced Rhino skills like Grasshopper. Also the virtual reality rendering has boarden my horizons and give me a whole new experience. It is so fancinating to see my own design really present in front of me, even it is in Unreal engine. We also learned fabrication technology like laser cut and 3D printing, which gives us an idea of how to transfer design ideas into a real life model, and the possibilities of presenting them in various ways.

Besides digital techniques, I understood architecture is not only about design some cool buildings, there are a lot more things

Skills:

need to be considered, like threshold and circulations...... The module 1 precedent study also gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration on how to guide people make circulations and how to make intersting thresholds. In a short, the most important thing about architectural design should always be clients’ experience and interaction. This is also my aspiration for my design.

As a first year student, I definitely leared a lot from this subject.

The biggest thing I want to improve in the future is my presentation skills. I always feel nervous at each presentaion.

Diagramming Design Precedent

This pavilion had two corridors, both of them can be circulated, but the inside one is designed for pause and stay, and it had tables, chairs and benches inside.

The thresold is the outside corridor including all the doorways. The darkness of the outside corridor made it easier for people to calm down and make contemplation. There are 6 doorways from outside and 6 doorways from inside. The exterior doors and interior doors are attributed differently to guide circulations.

Circulation

Material Study Public Vs. Private

I use orange dotted line here to indicate the main circultion,which is in the corridor. And the yellow line inside represents the secondary ciculation.

The shaded area is where people able to walk.

The innermost space have tables, chairs and benches around the interior garden. It is a public space, but each table can create a private space. Vistors here can take time to relax

Material also play an evocative as well as an essential role in the building. The design aim of this Pavilion is to bring the nature back, and create a contemplative garden away from the busy metropolis. The timber framed stucture provide a natural environment, and the black cover creates the blackness and shadow when people ones entry it, their emotion would be changed, thus the thresold occured.

Generating Ideas Through Process

Design Matrix

For the paneling, I started with on side of hexgon cells and one side of voronoi cells (3.1), which are all in fixed height.

Then I explored the weaverbird to do some interesting hexgons (3.2). After that I felt it is weird to do one side of hexgon and one side of voronoi, therefore I changed to voronoi pattern on the both side (3.3) . The height of this protrudes are also varied, thus create an abstract butterfly wing shape. The top part of it is 2D here to show a transtition from 2D to 3D. Because there is already a big opening on the top of the waffle, I want to control the amount of lighting passing through the skin. So I gave up the 2D part, and that is the final version figure 3.4.

Voronoi pattern has been adopted at both side to show a sense of consistency. Openings on the protruding panels are smaller at the bottom, and increase in size towards the top of the volume. They control the amont of lighting passing through, while still create shadow for interior space.

A hollow waffle structure allows for the creation of an interior open space.

I got inspiration of the whole shape from butterfly, with the openings on protrudes and varies height, the shadow of this module also gives a shape of butterfly wing.

In laser cut template, the red lines are etched lines, and the black lines are cut lines.

When I tried to unroll my panels and add tabs for them, I found Rhino would also add tabs for openings, which are not desirable. Therefore I deleted the tab lines at openings and that made the later folding works easier.

The pavilion is located at Queen Victoria Garden. Thersfore I do not want the pavilion block the natural enviroment around it, the concept of the pavilion is a rest place on the lawn. I choose translucent glass as my main main material with steel pipe to support the whole structure. The glass material allows people sitting inside the pavilion, while still feel connected with outside. During the concret, it also allows audience viewing from outside. Although it is glass, the translucent feature still provide some kind of shawdows and create a larger threshold area.

Design Iteration

The very first stage of my design

For the structure, I started with waffle structure like what I did in module 2. This is a regular waffle structure.

I started to try different panels by playing with the size of openings and how to place them.

This is a diagonal waffle structure.

Another version of diagonal waffle structure without any curves, and ready for laser cut.

This is the final version. I got the idea from previous precedent study of Zumthor Serpentine Pavilion. A big opening at top allows for the natural lights get through, and also lessens the weighty feel of whole glass structure.

In the end, I gave up the waffle structure. Because they are too thick and do not match the glass surface. A thinner pipe structure were used to also give a sense of lightness.

The extending roof at each entrance provide a large shading area. It allows people sit on the outside steps while still enjoy the shadow of it. Therefore the threshold begins even before people actually enter the pavilion.
