ABSTRACT

This project explores the intersection of natural morphology and computational design to create an architecturally expressive pavilion. Inspired by the organic forms of mushroom caps and the branching behavior of biological growth systems, the pavilion is composed of a lightweight, cloud-like canopy supported by a network of columns generated using differential growth algorithms. This two-part system establishes a cohesive formal and structural logic, where the branching sub-frame produces intricate patterns of light and shadow. The resulting pavilion serves as both a functional public space and a sculptural intervention.
