Project Goal
For my Spatial Design class we were tasked with creating a pavilion that could be placed in Holland Park (Surrey BC) using a panel architecture style. Panel architecture uses panels to create a space instead of large walls. It creates a more open space with better flow for visitors. This pavilion design houses 3 sculptures, two small and one large that will extend into the second floor of the pavilion. With dimension limitations, important considerations were made concerning panel locations and access to the top floor.
Project Creations
The pavilion offers a good sense of flow and provides many options for visitor circulation for both the bottom and top floor. The greatest concern for me and my partner was accessibility. With the limited space, it was more efficient to put in a staircase, but in order to create an accessible top floor, we opted for ramps that also allow for new perspectives on the sculptures below.
Material and Location
The pavilion location in holland park is indicated on the right by the red square. We chose this location as it is near the center of the park and provided enough space for the pavilion in its proper orientation.
The flooring, ramps and inner walls use concrete. The railings are steel and the brown panels at the back are wood to offset the cold feeling of the other materials.
Summary
Overall the attention to circulation and accessibility really made the difference in this design as not only is the pavilion aesthetically pleasing, but also creating a pleasant experience for visitors and park-goers. My partner and I worked really together and were very pleased with the outcome of our work.
