COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN SEM 1 LEVEL 2
CONCEPT
“Ephemeral Water” reimagines the missing water in the fountain at Placa Reial, creating a pavilion that embodies its essence and fluidity. Through this design, the pavilion becomes a poetic response to absence, symbolizing water’s presence, movement, and life-giving energy.
The pavilion transforms the dry fountain into a space where the memory and importance of water are celebrated. By exploring water’s qualities—its fluidity, rhythm, and reflective nature—the structure invites visitors to engage with its absence as a sensory and emotional experience.
REFERENCE – Tangential Dreams by Mamou Mani
Tangential Dreams is a climbable sinuous tower made from off-the-shelf timber and digitally designed via algorithmic rules, maximizing inexpensive materials. Around 1,000 “tangent” thin wooden pieces are held in position via horizontal pieces rotating along a central axis, gently moving in the wind like leaves of a giant tree.
