HANGING PAVILION VARIATION WITHIN SEQUENCE Prof.s Jim Williamson, Lorena Del Rio T.A. Andrew Fu | Fall 2015
Based on the linear, rhythmic repetition of the harvest mouse’s perforation of grass, five modules with two “jaws” each slide along a steel track. The jaws, connected to the bottom of the modules by elastic bands, snap down when the levers behind are pushed down. This instrumental function informs the form of first an imaginary site and then a cliffside pavilion, whose rhythmic descent is dictated by sets of modular elements that begin to vary in number and frequency in relation to one another: the excavations in the cliff, the columns, the hanging canopies, the railings, and even the promenade floor.
