Pavilion Interaction
The pavilion allows people to interact with it by touching and swinging
Differential Growth
2020
Built | New York, USA
CONCEPT | The pavilion is the result of a study on the Differential Growth of plants and the potential applications of physics-based solvers as tools for the generation of a behavior-based form and structure, that when translated into architecture, the bio-inspired algorithm assigns unique formal and structural characteristics to the canopy-shaped geometry. It used 1500 zip ties and 30kg of space graded steel strips. The pavilion took two and a half days to be built and suspended.
