Project Description:

Our first semester at graduate school called for a reinterpretation of a thin-shell structure, and our group researched the grid-shell. We challenged the consistency of the grid by gathering the structural members into four bundles. This allowed our pavilion multiple access routes and denied a hierarchical organization. The Summer Pavilion was constructed in 24 hours and lifted into place by 6 people and, in a torrential downpour, was the location for our final presentation of the semester.



Material:
