PRECEDENTSTUDY

LAYERS OF STRUCTURE AND CLADDING

Analysing the layering of tensile materials, we were particularly interested in the sense of lightness that is created by the Japanese Pavilion despite its dense layering of structure and materials. Furthermore, Shigeru Banâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Japanese Pavilion was designed as a recyclable, temporal enclosure where the structure and cladding can be dismantled and reused elsewhere.

PRECEDENTSTUDY The Cutty Sark Pavilion uses a dense layering of various materials while retainign a sense of temporality and lightness within the structure. The Cutty Sark Pavilion is temporary and easy to dismantle. The white PVQC Fabric is stretched to create deliberate conical forms which symbolically resemble the mast of the Cutty Sark Ship.

precedentstudy The Spanish Pavilion uses modules of weaves with contrasting densities to create a dynamic porosity and light filtration inside. In contrast to the Japanese Pavilion, the Spanish Pavilion creates a sense of solidity-weight structural layering of woven wicker and a steel structure.

PRECEDENTSTUDY The Windshape Pavilionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combination of a lightweight structure with a light woven thread cladding creates a smooth transition between the interior and exterior spaces. In contrast to the Japanese Pavilion, The Windshape enclosure is merely composed of two elements, creating a lightweight structure on a masonry medieval site.

ITERATIONONE:exploring weaving density

The diagram models explore the contrasting light effects created by different weaving methods in three different densities. The use of woolen string on balsa asserts the almost primitive nature of the weaving technique that is being pursued.

ITERATIONTHREE

extrapolating vertical elements_saro karadanian and irene

Sited in Cambellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove in The Rocks, we opted to design a lightweight form that reflected the distinct vertical, compartmentalised form of the heavy masonry Cambellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove Warehouse.

ITERATIONTWO:abstracting surrounding form extrapolating triangular elements of roof_saro karadanian and irene

Aiming to abstract the form of the Cambellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove Warehouse, we resolved to extrapolate the triangular roof elements of the warehouse instead.
