The main objective for the Art Fund Pavilion is to use the wood material in a challenging manner, generating interlaced strips that embed the structure as in spread able part of the lattice. By using computerized fabrication, the constraint of producing repetitive module is replaced by a variant component strategy, allowing natural patterns to emerge.

The Pavilion

Interlaced wooden strips wrapped over deformed box shape, the outcome is a perforated façade with a dazzling moiré effect, forcing the visitor to continuously move chasing the ever-changing casting shadows.

The component

The basic component is made of an array of blending curves, with a thicker wooden frame, which when connecting to the other component will generate a stiffened mesh. Therefore the structure is part of the overall pattern, embedded within the mesh as an active member.

The Structure

The warping mesh is made off continues curves, allowing convenient force distribution of load from the roof to the rest of the structure. Additional reinforcement can be achieved by using component with crossing strips at the roof area.

The pavilion can transform to weatherproof by layering the internal walls and roof by canvas, or other materials such as Perspex or wooden shingles.
Finally the Art Fund Pavilion leaves the visitor with the impression of a dynamic structure.
