Toyo Ito Serpintine Pavilion 2002 Architect
Toyo Ito, Cecil Balmond, Arup
Location
Kensington Gardens, London, United Kingdom
Area
309.76 sqm
The design of the pavilion were based on a mathemathical pattern which a square is enlarged, rotated and trimed. The frame are made of steel plates intersecting each other. Aluminium panels or glass were installed onto the remaining empty sides on the structure. There are on columns or pillars in the middle of the pavilion as the arrangement of the steel blades allows the structure to hold itslef up. That leaves the pavilion a huge free space.
Circulation & Thresholds
Circulation is the way people, move through space, the approachable path, entrance and exit.
Threshold is the opening in a structure for not just people, but also light, wind and other animals.

Toyo Ito and Cecil Blamond developed an algorithm to create this spiralling mesh. This design allows compartment the plan into zones that could be p remanufactured and assemble on site. This ďŹ ts the plan perfectly as the Serpintine Pavilion is a temporary project. And this spiralling design weights lighter than a regular grid mesh(spiralling 50t, regular 53t). The structure is also strong enough to withstand itself so no pillars of columns are needed.
The aluminium panels and glass were install in a checkerboard style. And in-between are the threshold and entrance for air and light. Since it is a summer pavilion, the architect do not want the structure to be closed completely, so air can ventilate freely and provide natural light.
The algorithm generates entrances and coners support naturally. The size of the entrance, the orientation of the pavilion and its relation to the surroundings all have effects on the circulation of the structure. It is mind blowing to see how a simple concept can develop into an intricate design and care to every aspect and its details are the reason why this pavilion is so intriguing.

12 lines represnts all 12 combonation of how people enter and exit the pavilion. Red represents exit and green represents enter. Theheavier the line weight, the more people flow.
It is represented with a heat map like diagram. Warmer colour representshigher circulation and cooler colours represents less or stationar y activity. The bar table and the main entrances have higher circulation, so the map have a warmer colour concentration.
02. Generating Ideas Through Process
S ur f ac e / Wa ff le The waffle structure mimics animal skeleton so the waffle will not wobble due to the curvature of the component.
Each panel creates a threshold to let natural light and wind to go into the structure.
The idea is the panels can open and close, change in directions to adjust the tempreture of the interior.

4 different 3D component were used to morph ontothe surface.
The 3D panels mimics the Pangolin scale. Each panel creates a threshold to let natural light and wind to go into the structure. The idea is the panels can open and close, change in directions to adjust the tempreture of the interior. For example, open the panels to let wind blow into the structure to lower tempreture, or close the panel to block sunlight.
The waffle structure mimics animal skeleton so the waffle will not wobble and shear due to the curvature of the component. It also creates an intersting surface on the exterior and a large interior volume.

The booleaned geometry provides a single cell space. It has an interesting interior while maintaining the structure of a pavilion. It has size varied chambers and spaces.There are threshold openings on all four sidesof the geometry.Which provides entrance for high and low human circulation depends on the side and direction of the opening.
The booleaned and interior surface are made with refective material.
The exterior boolean creates outdoor area for people to use and rest. The booleaned and interior surface are made with refective material. So natural light source can lit up the interior of the structure. The light refracts on the inside and creates mesmerizing refractions and shadows.

Create the initial triangle face.
Create a triangle, then subdivide it and cull the null points. Scale the points to pop the planar surface points to spherica.
VB script to select points and create new polyline tri’s. Take the now subdivided original triangle and rotate 3x3 times.
Take the now “10 sided” half icosahedron and mirror and rotate to create second half.
Scale to make it bigger. As my shape for boolean.

The idea of this pavilion was drawn from Digital Design Module 2 Task 1 and 2. In these tasks, my idea was a structure with panels adjustable in directions and degree to adapt to the surrounding environment. And task 2 is a rectangle pavilion structure which provide indoor and outdoor space for people to circulate.
I have combined the two ideas and thus created the base ides for Module 3's pavilion design. But this time instead of panels, I have decided to use strings/rods to be the primary material for the adjustable form of material because the interactions between lines could create more intricate pattern for more usage. It separate spaces with linear elements rather than cellular elements.

Open
The pavilion I designed has embedded at movable and adjustable mechanism which the strings and move along the edge of the box to create different form and shape of the pavilion. By altering the side strings, it creates different size and orientation of entrance and exit thus the top string pattern will change to provide a particulate pattern for shading. Vies-Versa, when the top layer changes its pattern to provide shade, the side strings changes to create a different shaped pavilion. This mechanism allows the pavilion to accommodate different event and venues by changes its form and shape.
Enclosed
For instance, it can be a open pavilion which provide a triangular shape and seatings which provide triangular shade and allowed people to use the area and landscape around the pavilion. Or an enclosed pavilion which provide a square shading and formal seating to provide a private space. To compliment the strings system, a movable piston like seating was also created. Since a fixture seating will not fit in this pavilion, a grid of movable platform would be perfect for this situation. The panels on the floor can either be seatings, or they extrude to a certain height to create tables, stage or stairs. This mechanism allows limitless iteration and form of pavilion and also interesting to look at.
