Park Pavillion by Dana Hasan
Park Pavillion is a study of modeling freeform architecture on Rhino. The software provides architects and designers with the opportunity to conceptualize compositions with minimal limitations on the output, resulting in an array of otherworldly structures and evoking curiosity and intrigue in users and viewers. Hence, Park Pavillion intends to act as a sculptural addition to the public park site whilst providing shelter.
Concept Development
The intention is to design a sheltered walkway characterized by permeability in a physical sense such that it is provides a route through and in a visual and material sense such that it doesn’t obscure natural greenery of the site.
Precedent Inspiration Serpentine Pavillion by BIG, London, 2016
Research lead me to the Serpentine Pavilion which achieves permeability through use of open metal ‘blocks’ or units culminating in a free form pavilion. The process of achieving the serpentine shape inspired me to test iterations for my pavilion design.
Decoding the Design
Adopting the serpentine pavilion method to breakdown the modeling process.
Serpentine Pavillion - Panelling
Use 3D panels of hollow square cross section with a minimum thickness corresponding to a folded metal box. Achieve modules with a large offset to create visual depth.
Modeling Process
Create Base Curves
Loft Surface
Add Panels
