Section: To Breathe

Expanding upon the previous assignment “Line: To Breathe,” this pavilion focused on how to represent the verb through multiple levels and stairs. A series of levels were created to illustrate horizontal surfaces and links between them (such as stairs). My horizontal platforms do not exceed the boundary space consisting of twenty-one 12m high columns on a 8m by 4m with a depth of 4m foundation base. Within my pavilion I have 7 spaces are defined by whether they offer a space to breath or are a transition platform. Most are connected with one or most links made by stairs. They are in practical locations to allow continuous flow of movement. This is outlined in the grayscale Diagram abovethrough paralineand plan drawings to emphasize the difference between a space vs. platform within my pavilion.I wanted to create a very light and delicate platforms and stairs within my pavilion. The lightness of them exhales as you get closer to the top since they are less levels or spaces obstructing you. There is more spacing between the levels are you climb higher up the pavilion. I view breathing as something natural and easy to do. I felt this pavilion should reflect that by having riserlessstairs without railings that lead to platforms with cantilevers.
