Week 7: Third Parametric Pavilion (Metaballs)

Theory: Mobility

                      A deck is added on to the site to provide an area for a  shower and locker room below it.

 The entrance leads to a shower/locker room area, open to the public.

The porous design allows sunlight to come through. Benches are also incorporated on to the site for people to use.

The design of this pavilion was inspired by P-Wall by Matsys and the fluid movement of liquid substances. Made out of metaballs, the pavilion provides coverage from sun. The “blobs” represent the culturally diverse community of Woolloomooloo and how each ethnicity is individual yet is apart of the same community.

Week 6: Second Parametric Pavilion (Kangaroo)

Theory: Emergence

 Round benches positioned around the columns

A deck is added on to the site to provide a shower and locker room below it.

 The opening in the wall leads to the area under the deck. Inside lockers, showers and a restroom are available to the public.

This pavilion was inspired by the trees within the site and the natural structure of voronoi cells. Using the voronoi cell pattern as the membrane to be stretched, the anchor points were chosen based on ethnicity census data collected from Woolloomooloo. Each location of each anchor point represents the top six countries location in relation to one another as if they were on a map.

By stretching the voronoi membrane with anchor points held to the ground, tree like structures are created as the pillars. These are reminiscent of the trees originally in the site.

Week 5: First Parametric Pavilion (Lunchbox)

Theory: Terminal Line

 Benches scattered across the site for people to use

 The glass panels allow sunlight to pour through

Incorporated in to the pavilion and in the site is an extended deck with a locker room and shower area underneath. 

Preston Scott Cohen’s terminal line can be described as a surface with a temporary loss of smoothness. Coupled with my census data of ethnicity, the following pavilion was designed. The panellised rippling roof provides a smooth surface that shelters people from sun and rain. This is then interrupted by the straight walls which also act as barriers to create privacy. The juxtaposition of curvature and shapes creates a simple, yet dynamic form.

The walls are positioned to connect to certain locations on the ground. Each location represents a country, extracted from the top six ethnicities in Woolloomooloo. With Australia in the centre, the walls branch out to New Zealand, the UK, Germany, China and Vietnam. The roof hole sizes are dependent on the percentage of each ethnicity wall. The bigger the ethnicity percentage the smaller the hole and a bigger area is affected.
