M2: Stagnation

OF ‘FURNITURE’

Furniture that can be stacked from glass bricks and panels provided. As Pavilion 2 eventually oscillates into Pavilion 3, this is but a glimpse of the opportunities for collaboration and innovation that is to come.

INVENTORY KIT

PROGRESSION

(Additions from Pavilion 1 and 2 can be applied depending on the iteration) Glass reinforced(GRC) bricks to stack Custom transparent polycarbonate loose seats. Exhibition frames, stands/stalls Steel reinforcement rods re-purposed.

Renewed steel skit of components that interlock and can twist depending on the rod’s positioning. Steel rods and braces are re-purposed from Pavilion 2. Reinforcement components may be added from Pavilion 1 and 2. Lighting from previous Pavilions. PLATFORM ASSEMBLAGE

PAVILION 3

PROGRESSION

Structural components become a system that operates in 6 directions, depending on the position of the build and where users decide to place the steel rod and brace that is available from Pavilion 2.

The construction becomes a main event itself, allowing the community to cobuild, witness the cobuilding and thus progress collectively as a society through a new interpretation of ‘working’ in unison.

Although the kit itself is prefabricated, collaboration between the public user and a diversity of groups is encouraged for the forming of this Pavilion and its relative events. 2/3-dimensional rotation

CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES

Pavilion 3 enables numerous creative opportunities to come to light. With the additional kit and formal elements that are reused from the previous oscillations of the pavilions, people can choose to assemble their own hubs from the components that will be placed on site.

The diagram shows iterations that can be included, but are not limited to. It is also colour coded in accordance to the variation of material and from which oscillation it originally was derived from. With the versatility of the assembly of the kits, come various innovations to suit the dynamic and ever changing needs of the people during that given time.

PAVILION 1. RELAPSE

Pavilion 1, Relapse will allow for spaces that will exhibit work-related artifacts from the past. This enables the user to ‘relapse’ to rediscover a time where traditional labour culture contrasts the current industrial society. The pavilion will physically represent a grounded society associated with an overlapped workplace and imply a homogeneous labour culture.

This is where the ‘rigidity’ of the mindset of the working society at the time comes into play, with social status, industry, occupation and many other factors were distinctly separated and thus closed off from other societies that differed from their practices and beliefs. This is represented through the architecture, by using rammed earthwork walls to create an enclosed environment that is metaphorically discomforting, symbolising the strict and clearcut rules of the working society in history.

This particular oscillation revolves around the 8 Hour Monument, forming an open courtyard that surrounds the monument itself, but hides this from the rest of the environment through the curved earthwork walls. It is placed as a centrepiece of the ‘courtyard’ to represent the spaces of protest and the discomfort in work-related conditions of the past.
