Connection Pavilion
“A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one”.
-Heraclitus of Ephesus
Inspired by the sketch of the classic corset drawing. Corset maintains the volumetric structure connected by multiple strings. Corset itself has the contrast of tension and release in shape which I thought would be interesting to turn into a pavilion design.
The first thing that came to my mind during developing this “connection” concept was the scene from the movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”. The most memorable scene from the movie I thought was the E.T. touched his glowing fingertip to the cut on Eliot’s finger. I wanted to turn this memorable scene into an interactive design.
Corset not only connects and holds the shape but also by connecting two points with a string, it creates another structure/pathway. I interpreted this into the white arch pathway alongside the two metal paneled pavilions. The metal material reflects the surrounding view of the park, which can give an illusion that the two reflected scene of nature is connected by a white arch.
Each metal panels are interactive and turns into green light when the motion is detected. I used the interactive pavilion as a great platform to give a connected feeling to the park visitors.
