design process sketches and models
Starting from a paper model that frames and channels in two directions, me and my partner adopt the ideas of elevation and repetition in order to create an defined shelter space. The pavilion is isolated from its natural surrounding because of its reflective materiality. It provides a primary shelter space in the three tunnels and a secondary shelter which is the threshold defined by the shadow of the tunnels. Student can have a peaceful moment in the pavilion because it is successful isolated from its surrounding academic context and have a playful characteristic instead.
