The Ethereal Bloom Pavilion embodies fluidity and lightness, mimicking organic structures found in nature. The twisted lattice frame, already developed through a parametric script, acts as the primary structural element. The spaces between the frame are filled with inflatable ETFE panels, which are designed to respond to air pressure forces and achieve a soft, billowing aesthetic. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal of the pavilion but also allows for adaptability in shading and ventilation.
FORM FINDIND
Our design process begins with identifying the design logic from the given references, which feature curved, flexible, and inflatable parts. These structures often rely on lightweight materials that can adapt to different environmental conditions through internal pressure and tension. The inflatable part of our pavilion aims to represent a flexible, adaptive, and efficient use of material, enabling a dynamic and sculptural form that changes based on specific forces or conditions. By leveraging computational tools like Kangaroo2, we can simulate these forces and generate a design that is both functional and visually intriguing.
Design Logic:
The core logic of our design is inspired by the behavior of inflatable structures and the curvature of organic, minimal surfaces. Inflatable forms are flexible and typically rely on internal pressure or tension to define their geometry. The form-finding process for such a structure involves simulating these forces and understanding how they can influence the final shape.
