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.

This pavilion seating structure is very simple , only made with curved long strips. The seating is incorporated into the design of the pavilion and different textures can be used as shown in the model above.

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.
