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.
