The Barcelona Pavilion demonstrates a spatial fluidity by creating interlocking space through vertical and horizontal planes, visible or implied. Our installation enlarges the spatial experience of the pavilion by emphasizing the body’s relationship with the surroundings (proprioception). The installation also designs circulations to foster movement around the space.
Form Finding Process With Grasshopper
Upon arrival, the installation begins from the stairs and extends toward the west entrance. Walking around the installation and the Barcelona Pavilion, visitors are sometimes enclosed and sometimes exposed.
Client And Program Analysis Tiling Strategy
Tiles are assigned based on the “planarity” of the pavilion. Thus tiles in vertical and horizontal directions have different tiles and show a transition from flat to steep. The shadow of the tiling becomes a translation of the structure and direction of the forces above, changing based on the time of the day. Aluminum sheet is selected as the material because of its ductility, reflectivity, strength, and ability to provide shades.
