BIBLIOGRAPHY
1 THREE RELATIONSHIPS three sketch projects were made in exploration to find the definition of THE PAVILION
1.1 POINT/LINE/PLANE tension pointed vertex progression of lines
SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE Jørn Utzon If you can imagine, the lines have constructed the shape of the shells. Starting from one point on ground, then it spreads to a few points and created planes. Those planes joined together resulting in one enormous shell shape.
TURNING POINT(S) OF BUILDING From Serial to Digital Architecture Exhibition, Pinakothek der Moderne Elements of the structure are protruding outwards in a sequenced manner, where those individual elements are creating a progression of points and a shape seen from afar.
POINT/LINE/PLANE: PRECEDENTS
POINT/LINE/PLANE: DESIGN CONCEPT white screenboards
A series of planes, with different length of lines, was erected by tension from a flat ground plain. Several points joined the planes together, creates a progression of lines with vertexes, seen from PLP03. Without tension, there spaces created underneath would not happen. Tension could be felt by seeing it from beneath (PLP02), which results in the sequence of planes with organic openings.

MASS: PRECEDENTS
MASS: DESIGN CONCEPT watercolor painting
An enclosed space with four corners which leads into the centre with an obscured vision that has a bright unknown end. The end seemed inviting and expressed a feeling of a better brighter situation than the closed dark space. It makes you wanting to go even further and further, to reach the end, even though you do not know what is exactly there.
1.3 FRAME/INFILL RECIPROCALITY TENSION INFILL BECOMING THE FRAME
INSIDE/OUT TREE Sou Fujimoto Architects The lines in the inner part of the cube has an intention of shaping the external surfaces. Some parts are tensioned and pulled into the centre and a few are the other way around. The lines serves a multifunction as a frame, for the external surface, also as an infill of it.
From Serial to Digital Architecture Exhibition, Pinakothek der Moderne Another example of infill filling up the spaces and constructed as a frame for the overal structure.
FRAME/INFILL: PRECEDENTS
FRAME/INFILL: DESIGN CONCEPT balsa sticks, white thread
The concept came from imagining of a net made out of a stiff material. The net is then pulled within a few points using a thread little by little. A dome shape was then formed by the tension given to the net.
Tha balsa sticks were made out of modules of four sticks arranged in a reciprocal system, which means that each element are depending on each other. Whereas once an element is taken out, the whole structure will collapse.
The tensile threads has a function of an infill that constructed the shape of the model, which was the frame. Thus, it can be said that the infill also acted as a frame(work) for the frame to be erected as a dome.
2 SECRETS PAVILION Based on the explorations from previous projects, here is where the concepts are being exploded and stitched into a single structure, THE PAVILION
2.1 CONCEPTACLE This model is a parti model, a formal arrangement that will describe the ideas abstracted from the three projects into a concept for the pavilion.
POINT/LINE/PLANE
pointed vertex, progression of lines, tension
MASS obscured, inviting FRAME/INFILL reciprocality, tension
People enter the structure from the ramp that was seemlessly inviting into the underground. Taken from MASS, the ramp was designed not too wide, roughly about 1.2m, as minimal as for disabled access. This will be an invitation with an obscured vision of what is happening at the end of the ramp and to where it leads. As people will keep on walking down, and found the first secret to be seen.
The hanging net seen from the underground was the abstraction of FRAME/INFILL as the first secret of the structure. Reciprocality is functioned when the net is being occupied. When force is applied, the shape of the net will be seen dangling from the underground. As when no one is occupying, the net will flat tensioned to the ceiling of the underground and would not be seen.
From aerial view, what is seen is just flat planes sitting on the ground just as what POINT/LINE/PLANE was. The concept was translated to be the roof cover of the pavilion. Seeing from the side, progressions of lines are projected as they meet on the top resulting in various vertex. Another secret is also revealed in this element, the idea came along after making the conceptacle when the progress for the final model was being made. This secret is functioned for children and it is the way in how to get into the net. One of the roof elements will be made as a slide where it leads down to the net, but only children that are allowed.
This conceptacle model serves a function to not just exhibit the physical concept of the pavilion, but also to demonstrate the emotions and feeling by individuals who are experiencing the structure.
On the left is the entrance ramp, it shows on how people will see as they enter the ramp towards the underground. From afar, what they see will be an obscured vision of the dangling net, where it will get clearer as they approach closer to the underground.
On the right, is how the situation is on ground level. People will be able to peek through the opened roof structure and see the net that is sitting and connected to the underground.
2.2 THE PAVILION
SITE The Pavilion will sit on the Eastern of Herring Island. One of the main reasons of taking this area for the pavilion is because it is where one of the main landing is located. The pavilion will be ‘welcoming’ the visitors that just arrived down from the boats. It is also where the dense vegetation is located. With having the pavilion surrounded with thickset vegetation, the pavilion will be even more covered and secretive. Thus, the structure will be less likely to be seen from afar.
