Deconstruction of the Pavilion

Concept and Design Strategies

The parametric design of the Pavilion implements the three main components roof, space truss, and enveloper respecting Kere’s original design intention. It represents a nature-based form, growing from the ground and developing into a light top. The dynamic interaction and reaction to the environment of the pavilion such as sun exposure, rainfall, and wind will create an atmosphere for the visitor.
