I orginally want to try to connect two circle as a sphere; but interestingly, when I used biarc, curves were twisted into different shapes. I kept exploding the shape and finally come up with these abstract volumes.

Populate Geometry Delaunay Edges
Pipe
Baked
I randomly create a sphere and point clouds surrounding it. When I connected the edges and pipes them, it looked like a bird net to me. Then I deleted pipes in the middle and left the pipes on the edge.

Voronoi 3D
Voronoi 3D is a very interesting command that it cuts the cube into random pieces. I tried to take out some pieces as to form different shapes of the structure.

Baked Extrude from surface
When I generated the idea, I would like to create something pointed. Triangle was the first image came up in my head. Then I tried with different combinations and angles. I was thinking the shelter should not be just a overhead blocked shelter, but a shelter that people can still see the outside world.

Using another rendering software really enhance the quality of the pavilion. It became more realistic and attractive to me. Before I made this pavilion, I did some research on this. Most of them use curvy lines and this drives me to use basic geometry to begin the design. I prefer breaking the original geometry instead of having three big pieces of triangles. It gives a sense of architecture and looks more artistic with the shodow created under sunshine.

Loft Contour Project
Baked Scale 3D
Originally I just wanted to have one curved shelter, soon, I found that it was dull to have one. I then tried to adjust its scale and rotate it. Lastly I combined two of them and formed a overlapping shelter.

Loft Contour
Construct Plane Baked
By creating two curves in different heights, they were lofted as a curved surface. It looked like volcano and contour lines were created around it. After placing the pieces along the contours, it turned to be a folded wings.
