As an architecture student, I was invited by the University of Bath in conjunction with Corus (a steel manufacturer) to design a temporary CafĂŠ Pavilion.

strong wind and solar radiation. The Pavilion is for use from May to September, opens 12 hours a days. It should be able to house at least 20 people indoor, 30 people outdoor. Considering bad weather conditions, spaces have to be flexible to protect customers from wind and rain. Orientation, views, immediate context and other details will be taken into account during the designing process, aiming for a realistic and successful scheme.
