Transcript of Unit 4 nterior Design A2 projectI
UNIT 4 Anmol Javid
Specification:
Using the theme of growth and evolution, I’ve chosen to design a contemporary
pavilion. My main focus will be on fossils and bones as well as natural objects to
get a more spiral structure to allow you to walk through a more prominent space.
I don’t want it to be a frame cut design, I would like it to consist of a more diverse
structure.
Purpose:
The purpose of my pavilion will be for the public to gain access to a space where
they can socialise as well as a walk through to experience a new route towards
their destination. It will be a more open space to use. The reason I have chosen
to focus on more natural objects for the project is because I like the shapes and
forms made naturally as it inspires me to bring historical assets to the modern
design world.
Function:
Changing public views of multiple personalities is my main focus on this pavilion.
A pavilion is a meeting spot for those intent on active work and either want a bit
of excitement in their day to day life or just a space where they can sit and work
more positively. The function of the space should be able to allow a stress free
zone. Since I’m placing it in a park, the concept behind it is to bring an enjoyable
experience.
Location:
I want this pavilion to be accessible and both an outstanding attraction for users.
I want it to be in the best place around South Kensington. Hyde Park is one of
the most popular natural attraction in England, which is also across from the
Royal Albert Hall. I chose to construct the pavilion here is because it’s a very
elegant area and adding a structure with a lot more depth will allow a higher
contrast between the two.
HUMAN ADAPTATION Pavilion
STRUCTURES Natural Assets – Bones / Fossils / Nature
Since the exam theme is “growth and evolution” I have chosen to focus on
more natural objects rather than basic shapes and forms. This is because it
shows the decaying and reconstruction of natural shapes and forms. From
the deep ridges to the fine lines. However I also like the patterns on leaves
and plants so by combining both ideas I can possibly create something a lot
more abstract. As a designer I need to think of the progression my work will
go through, because often the final outcome isn’t as clean as the frameworks
made to put it together. The exterior is always the most attractive, however
the inside is what will keep the user entertained. So thinking of this I want to
be able to provide a both outdoor and indoor experience.
Fossil records allow us to view the intriguing insight of its origin and its
population on the planet. They often offer permanent solid evidence, which is
what I want my structure to present. A solid outcome which shows my
progression of human adaptation and experimentation with a range of
medium. Looking at architects and designers who have exploited these
concepts, it’s understandable that ancient regimes have played a huge roll
during the Egyptian era as well as the contemporary world.
Thinking about the relationship the structures would have as a space, it’s
important to understand function. I want my pavilion to allow you to socialises
as well as do work in a hassle free environment. I want to be able to make it
as contemporary and natural as possible. Thinking of an audience, I want it
to appeal to many people of all ages. For kids especially I want it too be a
space they enjoy. I will add a structure inside for the younger users, which will
be an interactive piece.. This could be something they sit on, touch or climb.
Human Adaptation London: South Kensington – Hyde park
Hyde Park is one of the most
common and most visited
landmarks in the UK alone.
Thinking of it as location wise
for my work, I believe it will be
the best place for the pavilion.
Purely because it is not a
space alone to walk through,
but also a place to relax and
sit down. It is the largest of four parks which form a chain from the entrance of Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, via Hyde Park Corner and Green Park (19 hectares), past the main entrance to Buckingham Palace and then on through Saint James's Park (23 hectares) to Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall.
Vast amount of facilities for people
to enjoy their experience. For
example, pedal boats. The image
on the left, almost feels like a
more transportable pavilion which
travels along water.
IDEAS Exploration on archicad
Top elevation illustrating similar bone like structures as the
spinal chord.
Experimenting on archicad with structures. Here I have been inspired by the spinal chord and opted to create a more constructed
pavilion. You can see in relation where my inspiration has come from. I chose to make the pavilion this way because I wanted to
allow different spaces for people to be in. You can see there are a few empty spaces and then in contrast a few with furniture. This
will allow you to explore around the structure. Also I have added doors to allow easy access. Development wise, if I was to make this
a more permanent space, I would consider weather. As there isn’t a roof and my location is in London. Rain is a problem so as
development I would like to cover the roof yet leave it opaque.
UNDERSTANDING FUNCTION Fragerstrom house
Normally we would expect a house to consist of pale colours such as white and magnolia,
and ordinary angled walls. Most of these houses work well however it can be stale looking
from time to time. What’s interesting here is the curvaceous form and structure of the book
shelf which conceals the staircase.
Personally the contrast between the colours bring forward a more peaceful environment.
Unlike any other frame like stair case, these are a lot more curved and hidden.
The house’s waistline structures the kitchen and behind a bookcase, the stairs. The kitchen
is very much open while the stairs provide the more private spaces and are more to the side.
With its slow climb, the stairs give a you a feeling of ‘proceeding’ rather than walking
between levels. This skews the house’s gables but also makes for the constant changing of room geometry
as one moves through the house.
IDEAS Laser cut experimentation
During my recent visit to South Kensington, I saw this tree. You can instantly see that the patterns and
marks allowed the tree look very decayed. Which links to my theme of fossils and bones with the idea
of molecule patterns. The shapes inspired me to create this rather particular curved pavilion. Its in the 3
segments allowing you to walk through and see the space around more independently. The laser cut
experiment allowed me to experiment with more curved lines easily. As you can see the structures a lot
more neat and thinking of this as more of an ideal pavilion, it would work successfully. My main
intentions was to experiment with the rigged, hollow shapes. As I wanted to see how my structure
would look with these chosen features. Here you can see that the curved shapes allow the pavilion to
look more modern and different, rather than the ordinary lines and blocks.
Function of space:
Although it’s a pavilion, the concept
behind it is that it’s a social area to an
extent. Although the majority of the
space is public, I still want to maintain a
steady flow between each space. This
will allow ease and comfort for the
people who wish to be in the space.
Seating space outside
Open space
Open space
Understanding how the space works, I have managed to add scaled models into
the image. Seeing the space now it allows me to understand how the space will
be visualised by the public and how much potential it has in order to be
successful.
UNDERSTANDING FUNCTION Forest Pavilion Hualien, TW
Forest Pavilion’s relationship to the existing site is diaphanous and light – the
pavilion sits lightly in its environment with minimal disruption, yet with lighting
becomes a beacon at night, underscoring the relative emptiness of the valley.
Hualien created this space for a more of a multi purpose. It’s designed to be
used as a small outdoor theatre, as well as a walk through. The circular ring of
the deck, serves as both a seating area for spectators watching he
performance as well as a barrier around. Their mission was to design a
landmark installation suited for the vast scale of its scenic site, while providing a
sense of closure.
This new circular gathering space emerges from the ground in a series of
eleven green bamboo shading vaults, organized in two rings around a void.
The plan is inspired by the rings of a tree, and the different form of the vaults
by growth patterns in nature. In the same way that the infinite variety of shapes
in a tree emerge from very simple branching rules, the configuration of vault
shapes uses a single geometry, the parabolic arch, in a way that could in
theory generate endless configurations.
UNDERSTANDING FUNCTION Shadow Pavilion – Shanghai, China
The expo pavilion is a complex
displaying the future of
technology, culture, and life with
today’s capabilities. To take a
look forward and to examine not
only what is on display but the
aperture that holds that promise
of a better city, better life. In the
long tradition of Expo
innovations, the Shadow
Pavilion pushes today’s ideas of
formation and structure to the
next step; by looking at complex
organizations and the
integration of the two ideas. The
dynamic structural organization
of parametric component logic
creates intensities which shapes
the flowing canopy overhead;
which in turn, produces the ever
changing patterning produced
by the sun’s play on the
structure. The seamless
transitioning of the pavilion’s
material aggregation and
structural patterns promise an
experience that is both vibrant
and elegant and will reshape
the way people think about their
surroundings.
Responding to artist Flexibility with geometric forms
Multi purpose pavilion, which flows both
way to allow an easy access.
Mesh:
Repetition in man made structures. The mesh material allows for heightened ventilation and breathability by allowing air to flow
through the space to you while there. This is a revolutionary advantage over traditional fabric which often restricts airflow,
causing warmth and discomfort. The added ventilation also reduces the chance of unwanted odours.
I liked the idea of
adding geometric
shapes to form
more interesting
structures. The
concept behind
this idea was to
allow a space
where you can
feel comfortable
and also be in a
fluid
environment.
Open space to provide a fluid
atmosphere. Thus also to allow
comfort and pleasure.
Responding to artist Model making - Triangles
I chose to experiment with folds and geometric shapes, rather
than joining components together. As a result I like the idea of a
shutter space. It’s almost as a plane ready to take flight. In return
as you would walk through, you would feel ‘controlled’.
Any pavilion will have to allow a space for you to walk through. I
personally don’t like the idea of a simple frame cut structure. So
here I have designed one that is both tall and spacious with more
depth.
Development of Idea Adaptation
Knowing the boat area is famous within the park, I thought of creating a
pavilion, or more of a walk in space for kids to interact with. The image on the
right shows a little boy inside a sharks mouth. The idea that kids would interact
with patterns and 3d elements more gave me the idea of creating a more
interactive space.
Thinking of structure, I’ve taken the idea of the interior on an animal. For
example, dinosaurs. I particularly like their rib cage and the way it obscured
the inside away. In relation to that, I’ve designed a more compact space.
Development of Idea Adaptation
Development
Development wise, I will experiment with a more sustainable material,
which would be ideal for the structure. As the pavilions going to be in a
natural environment, wood will be a good medium to use, as it can
withhold the strength of the structure.
Thinking of the location, and the people more likely to be attracted to the
space, I initially thought about kids. I want the pavilion to be a space for
all ages. Kids love bold and interactive spaces where they can connect
and be a part of. Here I have designed a pavilion which resembles the
rib cage of a dinosaur. As you can see, the pavilion space is more likely
to intrigue young children, also I want the inside to have interactive walls.
Where the colours change with the touch of human adaptation. Meaning
sensory walls.
Location wise, I think it works best near the river
in Hyde park, purely because it’s where kids are
most likely to go, and with parents they can
explore the park in a broader range
Wall functions
Since I want the interior of the space to be a more of an outstanding area for kids, I’ve chosen to
add an interactive or censored function. As you can see on the illustration on the right, the different
coloured panels portray the interactive theme of the interior. The reason I chose to add this feature
was to involve young kids, and make them feel welcomed as well as the adults. This will in return
encourage them to interact and in a way learn.
Development of Idea Adaptation – Model Making
Example of how kids would
interact within the space
The concept behind this model was inspired by my previous slide. I had chosen to
create a pavilion inspired by animal bones, however I've decided to add a more of a
curvaceous shape which conceals the space, similarly to how bones conceal
organs.
UNDERSTANDING FUNCTION My Thread Pavilion for Nike NYC Fly Knit Collective
Artist Jenny Sabin created the My Thread Pavilion. The culmination of more than
four months of data collection and inspiration, this final project furthers the ethos of
performance, lightness, formfitting, and sustainability presented by the
revolutionary Fly knit technology and its Racer and Trainer+ silhouettes. Sabin’s My
Thread Pavilion is housed at Nike Sportswear’s own Bowery Stadium in New York
and will remain on display at the Manhattan storefront
Development of Idea Adaptation – Model Making
The concept behind this idea, was to create something in addition
for kids to interact with. I took the idea of bubbles and created this
structure to add. Thus allowing kids to play with it and enjoy.
Thinking as development I would incorporate cotton wool as a
more three dimensional material however, fabric would be more
ideal in the real world.
Taking inspiration from the “My thread” Pavilion, I have opted to focus on
the idea of bubbles. Children love them and so do adults so it would be a
more ideal aspect to add.
Here I have taken liquid
and foam and combined
them together by blowing
into them. In return I was
left with these shapes of
bubbles. They are not
round which makes me
love them more.
Development of Idea Adaptation – Model Making - FINAL IDEA 1
Basic entrance, with
glass wall, some
spaces to sit.
Main attraction inside. A interactive fabricated
space. Where kids and even adults can walk
through, touch, interact with. It will be formed of
many different strings and cotton. With gaps to
see through and allow a more abstract
understanding of spaces.
Roof top seating. This concept is ideal as the location is in
the heart of south Kensington. Therefore people can
socialise and have a look out towards the city surrounded.
There will be a glass panel on the floor space, to have a
view of what’s beneath.
Linking back to my previous slide, I took the idea of adding a curvaceous central
point in the pavilion by creating this sculpture out of paper. As a meeting point it
works well as it isn’t closed. You can walk around it, through it and interact with its
form.
Development of Idea Adaptation – Model Making - part 1
The space works well as a place for kids to enjoy, as the curves bend round like a
slide and kids can enjoy that. It will be a contemporary meeting point that will divide
the space from the exterior and interior.
Development:
The dessus rule applies that the interior and exterior have a
relationship that’s not obvious. As a mean of development this
structure could work well both in a frame cute building, allowing the
anticipation of the central point to be more eager.
Taking the concept idea of an inside structure, I’ve implied it into a frame cut building. The
building is potentially the pavilion concept I am after. I want the curves to be the centre point
of my pavilion as it will allow you to walk around and view every corner more openly. Originally
the space inside was just going to be open with random seating range, however I wanted to
replace that with something more productive. By adding this curvaceous component, you can
now interact with the shape and socialise. It makes the experience of a pavilion more alive.
Development of Idea Adaptation – Model Making - part 2
Development of Idea Creating an atmosphere within a building
The
central
point of the
building Primitive building: the Stone Age
The hunters of the late Stone Age,
who moved about a wide area in search
of food, built the earliest temporary
shelters that appear in the
archaeological record. Number of sites in
Europe show circular rings of stones that
are believed to have formed part of
shelters. They may have braced crude
huts made of wooden poles. Looking
back at the exam theme of growth and
evolution, I think the stone age era is
most fluid starting point for the interior in
the pavilion.
The central point in the pavilion consists
of the interactive space, however
surrounding it has nothing unique. So
thinking of seating and function, the
stone like structure will allow me to
create a more natural structure. I
thought that using stone pillars to hold
the structure would allow a more airy
atmosphere; similar to the stone age.
Looking at the stone age era, I was
inspired by tree bark. The structures of
these were similar to the stone age. It
allowed me to experiment with space and
create an environment both natural and
interactive for people to sense and walk
through. I took the bark and played around
with composition. Not only to create a
social able surrounding but also a space
where you can sit and relax. Making sure
the structures were versatile.
Stone age concept for a more natural structure. Ideal for a pavilion in
the park. It will give the interior space a more evolutionary depth
allowing you to be more interactive with the surrounding.
Development of Idea Natural Forms
Using found objects I created indoor structures.
Looking at the idea of “socialising” I want people to
be able to experience different and new ways of
communicating. This being through the space they
are in. By adding more contemporary interior
objects, will allow you to be more open minded and
free with your own interpretations.
Hyde park is full of scenery and beautiful plants, so
by added something a lot more abstract; brings a
contrast between nature and man made structures.
Which would allow people to be more interested and
wonder around , creating a fluid environment.

Development of Idea Natural Forms
Prana Yoga Station Park
Farmington, UT, United States Interior architecture with an emphasis on minimalist design. Curving forms and
a monochromatic palette reinforce the brand identity of Prana Yoga's second
location.
Thinking of the
atmosphere I want
to conceal, I chose
to create a space
insipired by petals.
As a concept they
work well and make
socialising fun.
HUMAN ADAPTATION AMONGST NATURE Development of idea
Curvaceous Concept behind plants;
The sphere is nature's most efficient shape. A dome covers the most
living area with the smallest footprint. When compared with a similar-
sized rectangular-shaped house, a dome will have 30% less surface
area. Energy-efficiency - Save on heating and cooling costs.
Cost-effectiveness - Will cost less than traditional stick-frame
buildings based on the core structure comparisons.
Versatility - Curved shapes may be used for many building
applications.
Environmentally-friendly - Construction produces less waste and
uses less material than traditional stick-frame buildings.
Ecologically value-added - Uses recycled wood products.
Time saving - Efficient manufacturing process and quick on-site
assembly.
Consistent quality - Manufacturing ensures proper shape and size
As a form of development, I’ve chosen to focus on plants. Here in particular in flowers. You can see the petals
provide an oval shaped structure, which is both abstract and evolutionary. I like the concept of taking a small petal
and following its geometric shapes to design an evolved pavilion
Instead of trying to blend the structure into the location, I want it
to stand out and be seen as something different. I want it to be
able to evolve with its flower like base.
CHOSEN IDEA Development
The interior space will
provide a sociable
experience, with
different seating.
Linking back to the
stone age
development of
seating's. They will
work well in a
contrast between the
growth and evolution
of natural inspiration.
The exterior of the pavilion will work
well if it had more control over it. Rather
than a frame cut structure, I’ve chosen
to mimic a flower but not in the most
obvious way.
The central point will
consist of the curved
structure inspired by the
‘My Thread Pavilion’ I
personally think the idea of
having a curved structure
inside will allow diversity
and fluidity between the
atmosphere.
Location wise, I’ve considered the idea of the park and its
surrounding. The concept behind the pavilion is to illustrate a
natural space, and by having trees around will balance out
the atmosphere.
DEVELOPING IDEA Cad
Experimenting on cad to visualise how the space
would work and become a place to socialise in. The
design here is quiet closed off from the outside, so
as a means of development I will consider opening
the exterior barriers. Looking at the interior here it
seems empty but when adding the curved structure
and socialising objects, it will become more fluid.
HUMAN ADAPTATION AMONGST NATURE Simplifying it down
SIDE ELEVATION Top elevation of space.
Simple flower petals have different size pieces that once combined, create
a more solid structure. Thinking of concept and idea, this works well as it’s
an evolved space based around nature in a natural surrounding. Also
thinking of it as a working space, people will be able to walk through a fluid
system where they can also socialise.
Development:
The central point of the pavilion is where you will meet. To make the space
a lot more interesting I want the central reservation to be what people
anticipate as they walk in. Linking back to my idea of an interactive unit, I
think will be best to place here.
Bringing the cad model into a physical dimension has made me realise the structure is
busy. I want to create a space that flows and creates a more calm environment,
especially one that’s fit for a park. Keeping the concept of the flower, I will work my way
around the exterior design of the pavilion, in a form of evolvement of structure. The
more open space is provided the higher the sustainability, as it will give people the
opportunity to explore and walk their way around a more spacious atmosphere where
they can feel open and calm, rather than trapped in a box frame.
Simplifying the model down to an
open space is more ideal as it allows
more room to function in.
BREAKING DOWN THE MODEL Curves - circles
Thinking of curvaceous forms, I’ve taken the idea of the flower and started changing the
exterior of the pavilion into a more round structure. This will attract kids and adults to
wonder what’s inside and intrigue them to walk in with again the anticiaption of the
central point which will still consist of the curved structure from previous slides.
Flaps, that fold inside and
out, to allow you to walk
in with ease and without
feeling trapped.
Cad model
Arrangement of seating.
Inspired by the stone age
era, I will include blocks of
stone like benches, to
allow you to socialise.
Still incorporating the curved
interactive structure in the
central point. Surrounding it
would be the seating.
More space to walk around
and visualise the space
within. Allowing comfort and
relaxation within.
BREAKING DOWN THE MODEL Visualizing the space
The outcome works well as a multi purpose space, especially in a park. It reflects the life of a tribal tent, with its geometric
structures. Representing the opening of a flower bud shows the growth of nature. There isn’t any specific door to enter the
pavilion, it will be an open environment. Integrating a structure within will give the users more of an option of what to do
and explore. My main focus is to provide a space to socialise in, catch up on any work, enjoy a day out with the significant
other or friends and family. The concept works well in understanding the needs and design in general.
PLAN VIEWS function
Built on the grass itself will
allow it to look more natural.
The over all shape would form
a flower. Not entirely round
and obvious but have the
similar relationship.
Multi purpose space. Stone age inspired blocks in
various sections of the space to allow comfort and an
easy social experience. I like the idea of having
blocks being the single functioning purpose of the
space. So you can drink hot beverages, read a book
and feel connected to your surrounding.
This elevation plan shows how the entire space is designed to
work. The central point of the pavilion will run across from one
edge to another. It will work its way across the room, allowing
you to walk through it, interact with it and be involved in a
creative space.
PLAN VIEWS Weather and Sustainability
Thinking of the weather, I want it to be
as comfortable inside the pavilion as
possible. Keeping the weather in mind, I
don’t want users to feel trapped and
concealed in an open environment.
Therefore I have allowed the space to
be open even from the roof, allowing as
much sunlight as possible.
However during the night, it can get
cold and damp in England. So to allow
comfort the best solution would be
adding heat within the benches. Making
sure the heat emitted isn’t high enough
to burn, it will be controlled by sensory
panels known as thermostats
Function of the censored
panels;
Weather the user is cold or
hot, the censored panels in
the interior of the bench
will sense the body
temperature and adjust its
settings for the user to
adapt and feel
comfortable, rather than
stuffy.
MODEL MAKING Experimentation
Trying to see the
bigger picture, I’ve
created the model
again by adding the
curved structure
inside as well as
creating the location.
Making sure the
design balances out
in the atmosphere.
You can see the
concept is to keep the
space open with the
natural environment.
Including the interior
to be ‘fresh’ will allow
the user to want to
interact with the
space. Weather and
temperature wise, the
censored benches will
be able to determine
and adjust.
Thinking of space and the way the user would interact with it, I chose to take
these shots of the structure. They are clear enough to understand how the user
will communicate; for example the triangular gaps which allow you to walk
through with ease. Also the images above on the left, shows what the user can
expect inside. Considering the idea that I chose to create a pavilion with more of
a purpose, rather than an empty space.
Development
The interior space is formed of a curvaceous component. I feel like at this point,
it doesn’t fit in quiet as well as I hoped. It looks like a random piece inside which
has no relation to the design. As development, I will change the structure. Still
keeping a central point within, however I will make it more geometric by using
sharper and bolder shapes.
MODEL
FINAL MODEL Dramatic structures - research
“AN ALLUMINIMUM CANOPY FLOATS AMONGST THE TREES”
The 2009 Pavilion was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa
of leading Japanese architecture practice SANAA. Describing their
structure you can tell that the Pavilion is floating aluminium, drifting freely
between the trees like smoke. Its appearance changes according to the
weather, allowing it to melt into the surroundings. It works as a field of
activity with no walls, allowing uninterrupted view across the park and
encouraging access from all sides.
Thinking of my model, I decided to create the inside to be more. dramatic.
Similarly here, the designer has dramatically created the space to be
open, however I want to the opposite, and create the centre point to be
compact space. Which would have the purpose to encourage kids to climb
and touch. That’s the concept behind the central point in the pavilion, I
want it to be appealing and interactive
FINAL MODEL Pavilion - Interior
The center point in the interior is a space surrounded
by tall triangular blocks. Each consisting of space and
gaps to walk through, crawl under. It’s designed for
kids and the younger audience to interact with. They
can freely sit under it, inside of it, climb it, touch it and
much more.
Access to
climb, to jump
to different
levels.
FINAL MODEL Pavilion - Exterior
Taking the combination of ideas, I’ve
incorporated the geometric pavilion inspired by
the shadow pavilion. Here you can see I have
joined the two together, allowing more function
to the space.
EVALUATION
At the very beginning of the project, I was unsure of what
exactly I wanted to design. I knew I wanted to create
something multi functional, however I wasn’t sure what would
appeal to my chosen audience. My visit to Hyde Park in South
Kensington gave me an insight of space, which led me to
design a pavilion. Through both primary and secondary
research I thought of designing a space inspired by natural
forms as well as evolutionary bones. This linked with the
theme of ‘growth and evolution’
The concept behind my design was to provide a space which
was both practical and social for my chosen audience. Since I
was locating it within a huge scale park, I decided to make the
centre point an interactive space for kids. It consists of a
abstract “playground” where younger users can climb and
interact within the gaps and ridges assembled.
Throughout the entire project, I had two initial goals. One being
how the user would interact and two being the structure. I
wanted to have a more natural concept behind my design, and
in the end I was able to focus on plants, especially flowers.
This allowed me to also experiment with forms and curvaceous
elements.
I am happy with the overall design and outcome of the pavilion.
I feel like it’s related to the theme well enough and would
provide a very sociable space for the users in Hyde Park. I’ve
incorporated little elements from most of my experiments, just
to make it more contemporary and it worked out successfully.
Sustainability and weather was a concern ,which is why I opted
to add a more technically advanced seating system. Which
sensors body temperature and adjusts to it for the user.
If I could develop the model further, I would try to make it as
sustainable as possible and consider weather as a main
aspect as well. Also making sure it fits the requirements of the
user.
