Spanish Pavilion by Foreign Office Architects Patterning has been one of the new design for the facades of the buildings. There were development of the patterning design , which now include different combination for the exterior look. Spanish Pavilion contains one of the most appealing facade in recent years. For the exterior look, it has thousands of tiles connecting each other, forming a colorful skin for the pavilion. The starting point of this design was based on traditional Spanish and Islamic lattices found in late-Gothic cathedrals, and different tiles represented different traditions.2 The theme fused together with the hexagonal geometries to form the patterning facade.

The conceptual design of Spanish Pavilion was based on two different tiles, with and without center aperture. The two different tiles create a difference at the facade of the pavilion. And the choice of the conceptual design was based on red and yellow of the Spanish flag, also comes along with different distinctions, such as rose and sun.3 This pavilion provides some idea on the conceptual design implications of our AIR studio project. The patterns of a building need to have a reason to make the project has a explaination and reasonable flow of design process. Otherwise, the developement of the project would be very weird.
