1/ LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME
FESTIVAL STAGE
The lightweight frame structure allows minimal material to be used creating a very sustainable design. It is made up of simple parts, including a stretched membrane roof which would be made in manageable strips, and relies on tension cables to cantilever this out over the seating stands. In terms of future use, it doesn’t provide a huge amount of flexibility due to the scale of each component needed to remain structurally sound. However it is easily demountable and requires minimal foundations.

CLASSROOM EXTENSIONS
The space frame structure provides a modular design, with the primary structure remaining simple and stackable, and allowing a large cantilever due to the strength of the frame. The external cladding would require a secondary structure to avoid simply being a claddded box. In terms of future use, the modular construction of a space frame is somewhat limiting, providing an extremely repetitive form. However the space frame does have the benefit of being a standalone object/space in its own right, and easily stackable into different forms. The secondary structure and cladding could provide interesting and varied components for future projects.
