Chosen Pavilion Concept Chart

In this chart I focused more on detailing the structure giving a clear idea how the pavilion would be made ,the sight location chosen and the surrounding landscaping ,Features like lighting and shadows and most of all how the structure would look as a final finished pavilion.

How will the pavilion be made

A structure made out of timber in various sections that are nailed together and cladded to form the base of the pavilion frame. The frame would be cladded with plywood and covered in a cement finish to make the round finished face and make the pavilion water proof. The frame would be mounted to the floor using 8mm stainless steal bolts and the seating area would be made out of square section steal to provide adequate strength when a number of people are sitting on it . Sand based paint would be used to give color and also to add texture to the pavilion’s outer shell while on the inside flat paint would be used to embrace the shadow being created.

Lighting and Shadows

In this pavilion my concept was to embrace light and shadow effects as the main vital component in the structure’s design, The pavilion is designed in a way to evolve during the day changing its inner shadow pattern hence the pavilion is seen differently every time you look at it and even the particular season you would be currently in.

The surrounding border at the top part of the pavilion is there not only to create these shadows but also to be a place to mount the lighting system therefore creating a relationship between night and day and how shadow evolves into light at night.

Lighting Layout

The lighting will be one of the main features of the pavilion and I chose to use  LED rope light, This was because rope light could easily bend around the curve and will provide a continues light beam . Another option would be to use energy efficient lighting tubes that would be placed in every part of the border . This lighting layout would be ideal for an exhibition space so charts of students could be displayed on the white curved wall.
