Project Development - Research Q

RESEARCH QUESTION

Can a pavilion improve people’s attitude towards our planet?

ABSTRACT

‘Failure is not an option: with every degree that global temperatures rise (it is already 1.1°C globally, and we’re trying to limit that rise to 1.5°C), we risk unhinging ecosystems further, leading to more extreme events and increased loss of lives, livelihoods, homes and cities, and devastation to the natural world. To tackle environmental problems such as the biodiversity crisis, ocean and atmospheric pollution, humans must learn from nature and become a regenerative species (Pelsmakers et al., 2022).’

Biomimicry is one of the best sources of solutions that will allow us to create a positive future and make the shift from the industrial age to the ecological age of humankind. It involves learning from a source of ideas that has benefitted from a 3.8-billion-year research and development period. That source is the vast array of species that inhabit the earth and represent evolutionary success stories (Pawlyn, 2019).

This project aims to strengthen people’s understanding of the climate emergency by designing a bio-inspired pavilion. A physical pavilion which is interactive and engages human senses to make the climate issue more tangible for visitors than two-dimensional information like posters and videos. A space for discussion, debate and encouraging people to change their attitudes and behaviours in response to climate change and develop a stronger connection to the world around them.

2. PRACTICE POSITION

I am from Iran, a historical country with precious background. I was born in Isfahan, a historical city with many ancient buildings.

Exploratory Practice aimed to was to design a space based on our valuable things. Therefore, I gathered information about my nostalgic spots in my city. I tried to respond to this question in my mind ‘why these places are always full of people who enjoy the space?’

Then I tried to find the architectural elements that make these places enjoyable and use them in my design. Thus, a foldable pavilion has been designed to use in between buildings, squares and parks to encourage people to gather and communicate with each other.

A

WHICH CAN ADAPTE TO ITS SURROUNDING NEEDS

In this Project Development, I want to design a pavilion that can attract people’s attention to some little-known creatures and the future of our planet.

Can light be as a means of mmunication in space between ople~people & people~space ?

How our future design can adapt to climate emergency?

Future and global responsibil ity

work for future generations provide inclusive and affordable design for all Environment respond to the local (present and future) cl imate

The story began five years ago when we camped on Hormozgan Island; while we were playing in the sea, I noticed that the water is glowing !

Solar lamp !

- Catching sun rays and glow the night away

No brain !

- There were on the planet before humankind, single-celled Absorbing CO2 !

-Account for producing 55% of the oxygen on our planet Photosynthesis !

-They produce their own energy needed

5. METHODS OF SPECULATION

Fig . 12An abandonedbuilding

I have two different ideas for my installation. First, it is a static installation in an abandoned building. Visitors use their mobile flashlights to interact with mirror sculptures in the building and make the interior space sparkling. Therefore, they can influence their surroundings and communicate with the space.

. 22Interactive whirlpools , 2001

Designing a pavilion to aware people about our climate emergency, inlay with mirrors inside that people can make sparkels by their mobile flashlights and interact with the space, not just reading some posters.

My second idea is about designing a responsive installation that can interact with users in the space. The Kinect sensors read people’s movements and speed and then transfer it to Firefly plug-in by Arduino. The more people move the speed of light rays increases.

My third idea is about designing a pavilion to educate and aware people about our precise nature and some important little known creatures of the ecosystem.

Flourish Systems Change,Book & Podcast

In podcast, two spirited thinkers, S. Ichioka and M.Pawlyn, discuss a bold set of regenerative design principles, drawn from natural and cultural wisdom and offers ideas and solutions for designer to build a thriving future.

ADAPTIVE REUSE

Biomimicry in Architecture, Book

This book have helped me to how design beyond conventional sustainability to be truly restorative. ‘The intention of this book is to study ways of translating adaptations in biology into solutions in architecture (Pawlyn, 2019).’

TED Education, Video clips

These simplified videos have helped me to understand what I had read about bioluminescence creatures, Phytoplanktons, Dinoflagellates , photosynthesis, chloroplast and luciferin.

RESPONSIVE DESIGN

RIBA Climate Emergency, Book

This book have helped me to figure out my design process and developement and how to choose my design themes which is important in todays world, and what elements we should consider in our design.

Dezeen design magazine, Website

In this website I get familiar with widley new ideas and projects that has done in this area.

BIOMORPHIC DESIGN

National Geographic, Journals

Reading these journals have absorbed me to the amazing world of the deep ocean. I am amazed how fishes communicate with each other by light in the ocean. I have learned what bioluminescence is and how it works between these phenomenal creatures.

BIOMIMICRY PRACTICES IN ARCHITECTURE

Fiber-woven research pavilion, 2014

ICD/ITKE team invested in exploring the potentials of digital fabrication methods, as well as looking to biological processes for novel and efficient design strategies. They investigated the shells of beetles, in order to develop a light weight panelized canopy form.

ART INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

Space - Speech - Speed, 1998

As the viewer’s movements in space and time become a causal component of the reception, he or she is both passive reader and active visitor.

AirBubble pavilion, 2021

EcoLogic Studio has designed AirBubble, a children’s play pavilion that uses algae in solarpowered bioreactors to remove carbon dioxide and pollutants from the air.

The Biomimetic Office, 20222

The spookfish led to the idea of incorporating a symmetrical pair of large-scale mirrors in the atrium to reflect light into the ground-floor and first-floor levels. The space under the mirrors presented an opportunity to create a dramatic auditorium that would add value to the building.

Interactive Whirlpools, 2001

TeamLab Designed interactive installation inside National Gallery of Victoria to look like whirlpools in water, which is created from “immersive and responsive” lights that project moving lines on the floor. These lights are programmed to respond to the presence and movement of people in the room.

Barbican Art Exhibition, 2022

Many different installations have shown and connected visitors to the planet. At the same time, this event aware people of the climate emergency we are dealing with. Experiencing this event has helped me to understand a threedimensional spatial space to engage visitors’ senses more instead of showing just videos and posters.

Different types of visitors will attract to this pavilion and be aware of the climate disaster we are facing in tangble spatial design

Designing a three-dimentional space and engaing visitor senses to make the climate issue more tangable by engaging their senses like touching, vision, hearing. I will do 3D model prototypes and physical tests to develope my design.
