Module 3 is about designing a pavilion in the Queen Victoria Garden where its location is the same as per the annual M-Pavilion.

 

The Pavilion must fulfill criteria such as: Facilitate an evening quartet concert for an audience of 30 people and lunchtime seminar with 15 guests + 1 presenter.

 

The pavilion must a roof to provide shade and shelter for 15 people attending the lunchtime seminar. It should have a relationship with the ground.

 

How the pavilion touches the ground and interacts with it should be considered.  All seatings will need to be integrated into the landscape or pavilion design.

​

Utilize parametric software to produce the pavilion, and the design should be self-supporting without the need of additional "external" columns.

​

The pavilion is to be no more than 5 x 5 x 5 meters in volume; this is the maximum volume.

The entrances and walls played a part in defining the circulation as well as the seating. There is a clear indication of the entrance and exits of the pavilion because the walls and seating are a barrier. The circular shape of the pavilion wraps the exterior circulation around it too.

The walls and roofing create a visual boundary of space within, creating that difference in user’s exposure to the surroundings. The patterns on the walls are still able to provide a connection to the surroundings.

The first stage was to determine the sizing and location of the roof cylinders. The ideal option was to have a bigger roof on the top and a smaller one below. This is to allow users to look at the different layers of “canopy” as using a smaller canopy on top would not be seen by users on the ground.

 

The initial columns had twist and turns which affects the circulation. Spread all three columns gave bigger flexibility for further developments later.

 

Using paneling tools, the patterns were formed with varying factors. This was followed by extrusions that were affected by a curve attractor.
