The studio focused on the human body and its movement therefore the image above was a model of two physical forms combined to make a tectonic form with custom 3d printed joints.
In this final project of a three-sequence semester studio class, a site was assigned directly bordering the University of Tennessee architecture that is underused, as a prime exterior space. A three-level pavilion was assigned for each student to generate solutions that take more advantage of the space. Using the two previous projects tied to the analysis of the human body and its movements, was one of the main influences in the design of the final pavilion form.
BELOW, BETWEEN, ABOVE
For the model making the main stagnant bottom levels were dictated by the black PLA print, while the white material used to express circulation paths, and the blue to signify the topmost paneling coverage system.
"Full speed ahead"
This model was made with mine and my partners choosing sitting with standing forms then using half of each of the pieces combined to make this wooden, with 3D printed fittings which were made digitally and then fabricated. The outcome was a type of alienist form, compared to other groups’ forms they seemed to be tighter constructed, and more human-like. Our outstretched forms stretched the model and made it more unbalanced with a small foundation.
