Computation Design Seminar-Term II
The project envisions a dynamic tensile structure on a terrace, integrating tensegrity to create a lightweight yet structurally efficient space for public interaction. Designed as a multifunctional hub, the pavilion provides a space for relaxation, lunch breaks, social gatherings, and contemplation.
By leveraging computational design tools such as Kangaroo, we explore innovative geometric formations that balance tension and compression, resulting in a visually striking yet highly functional structure.
The interplay of tensile membranes and tensegrity elements creates a fluid, adaptable space that responds to environmental conditions while offering a unique spatial experience

CIRCULATION
The Tensile Tensegrity Terrace Pavilion transforms the terrace into a multifunctional hub for relaxation, dining, social gatherings, and contemplation. Integrating tensegrity within a tensile structure, it maximizes openness, shade, and flexibility. The structure balances compression and tension, creating an adaptive, environmentally responsive space that enhances comfort and interaction.
