Constructing the Bent Wedge





Some Sketch Deisgns

Just some quick sketches of ideas for a pavilion form. Exploring ideas of an infinite spiral, a crashing wave and flowing fabric.





 Also, a design for a T-Fin footing which will support our pavilion. The idea being that the fins will angle in so from the outside they will be hidden and the pavilion will appear to float above the ground. A prototype model willl be constructed over the coming days to test this concept.

Detailing the Twist

Some early sketch designs of a perspex wedge as a joinery piece which creates a bend between each ring. Using a 3 degree shift as a starting point, the wedge allows for a bend in both the y and z direction within a single joint.
