Final Concept Paper Models
Close ups of the final models
After experimenting with different shapes , materials, textures and foldings , these are the final concept models created.
I tried to incorporate the seating with the structure as much as possible..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept Summaries
This pavilion seating structure was
inspired and made by paper
folding.
Folding makes any structure more
rigid.
This pavilion manly consists of seating, continuing and flowing with a
wall. The pavilion can be done
using stainless steel .. Which I think
the reflections would make a great effect, with the different shades created on
the stainles steel depending on the light. I don’t know if it could be done but
if it was to be made in transparent coloured glass or plastic .. It would create a great effect and a
playful atmosphere.
Stainless steel is apropriate for
the outdoors because it’s durable, it doesn’t corrode, rust or stain. It is a
very low maintenance material.
Stainless steel is also recycable ,
it is used in a lot of objects and architecture , and can get steam cleaned or
steralized.
The best way for it to be done may
be by welding the triangles together,
although it wouldn’t be easily stored or have parts replaced.
What I like about this pavilion is
that the overall shape is curvy but at the same time it’s all done with geometric triangles. I think that it would
serve as a great meeting place and a place for some shade from the sun.
It can either be
done with bent wood with different shades or also different textures. And also
it can be done using corrugated metal combined with normal smooth metal to create different
textures.
Insted of different textures , some
cut outs will also make a great effect, especially with shadows created by the
sun.
It is very important that the
structure is rigid and that it would be well connected to the plain. It has to
be resistant and joint well for safety.
It can either be connected to the ground , or to a thin platform .
This pavilion seating structure was
inspired by
leaves. The same continuous shape was used
to create the structure of the pavilion and also the seating. The shapes can be
made in several different thicknesses for a more interesting effect. Even
though it’s so simple, a great effect would be created. It would be interactive
with the people passing through and people can relax and sit or lie down on the
integrated seating.
It would create a relaxing
athmosphere because of it’s curvy shapes and flowing lines.
This pavilion can be done with
curved wood , or also stainless steel, which have to be assembled accordingly
as shown in the model for the desired effect as each section has a different
tilted angle.
As I said in cocept 2 it has to be
rigid and connected very well for safety.

- Pavilions -
'Learning from nature'
This sculptural pavilion is a green
swirling art installation shaped like a Mobius band and is inspired by the
biological cycle of life. This pavilion is functional, environmentally friendly
and also aestahetically pleasing.
It is three meters high, eight meters long and five meters wide. This pavilion structure can be touched,
walked and sat on, unlike a lot of other structures.
This pavilion is incorporated with a lot
of high technology features, including;
Phase changing materials, which regulate the temperature, so the
pavilion is warm to sit on when it’s cold and feel cool on a warm summer day.
It is also self-cleaning because it also has a photocatalytic
effect, which cleans the air around it.
“It’s fascinating to think that people’s activity can generate
energy simply by integrating specific materials, just as we can see here where
‘children at play’ create the energy required to run the integrated LED lights,
the Pavilion has given us the opportunity to demonstrate, how sustainable and
intelligent materials can be used in buildings.”

‘A Pavilion of Pallets’
There are an estimated 2 billion pallets circulating around the world.
This temporary pavilion was created by some
students of Aarhus architecture school in Denmark,
using only upcycled pallets .
This
sculptural structure is made from stacked pallets in a serpentine wall along the area.
It was created for the intention of
interaction with the users , the students could use this area as a unique place
to sit , relax , talk and also a place to be used to get some shade from the sun.
“The Pavilion was meant to
become an active element in the everyday-life of the school, and not to be only
an object. By adapting naturally to the original flow of people crossing the
courtyard, it was inviting people to interact with the structure and to follow
the strip to come inside a shelter, built all around the tree. Inside, up to 20
people could easily stand and sit down, being totally covered by the pallets.”

‘[C]space’
This pavilion is visually striking formed
by an irregular shell structure spanning over 10 metres. If you look closely
you will discover the merging of many separate flat concrete and steel elements
into this curved form.
“The deck becomes furnishing, which
becomes counter, which becomes wall, which becomes roof, which goes back to
wall, and returns to floor deck.”

- Artistic Clothing Creations -
This is a dress I created for a unit at school. The final task was to create an artistic costume.
After a lot of sketching, researching and test pieces, I came up with this design.
In the process I've learned a lot of new techniques and tricks white sewing, which inspired me while creating the dress and I also experimented with a lot of bead work. The materials used to create this dress were crepe de chine and satin. I used angling line and beads to create the bead work.
These above, are 2 dancer's costume me & Maris Callus created for Gianpula. The costume had to have something which isn't usually combined with clothing, and the costumes also had to be easily worn. We used foil cups, so that when the dancers are dancing they would be constantly reflecting light, which create a nice effect.
Considering the costumes would be worn by different sized dancers , we used rubber so the costumes would stretch to the desired size. The top and the skirt were made with 3 different coloured tulle.
