ARC201 –Physical Model

I view breathing as something natural and easy to do. I felt this pavilion should reflect that by having the round columns made of wood, a natural material that produces air, that do not connect to the walls. This was done intentionally to ensure viewers did not feel confined even within a space that had walk-through walls. The columns were also kept at 6m to over tower the viewer so they focus on being within the pavilion and not feeling out of place from being too big. They are downsized into a breathable space that allows them to explore. I wanted to ensure there was no thought of confinement, only structure to the ground. Additionally, this pavilion has no hard boundaries, making the space non-constricting, and thus breathable pavilion to walk through. People are able to enter a space and exit through a wall! The Physical Model pictures to the side emphasize the lightness of the pavilion. This is achieve by using thin materials like sheet paper cut finely with an exacto-knife. I have also added individuals to illustrate how they would utilize the space.
