RABBIT HOLE

Professor Matthew Ragazzo

Fall 2021

Revolving around the central courtyard, the pavilion is divided into levels of “orbits.” The orbits in turn create the radial grid in which each element in the pavilion sits, including corridors and functional spaces. With each orbit closer to the center ground level shifts down, thus creating a gravitation towards the central courtyard.

Spaces for individuals feature revolving screen doors, which provides flexibility between privacy and transparency.

Through various design elements, the Orbital not only reflects on the formal characteristics of its precedence, but also seeks ways to break free from its set boundaries.
