01 CASE STUDY 2.0

LIGNUM PAVILION

Frei+ Saarinen Architekten aimed to enlighten the public about potential applications of wood through the construction and design of the Lignum Pavilion. It utilises wood in a very expressive modern manner where its potential is displayed by the digitalised production process; furthermore, the fabrication process allowed the pavilion to minimise the production cost and expose the strength characteristics of wood.3

“…this small object seems to transpire a certain awareness that the modulation of rhythm is not concerned solely with form in itself, for ‘objects’ begin life as ‘songs’, as dances, as modulations of the body and the world in their constituent relationships.”3 – Alison Furuto

The fluid and organic form of the pavilion is constructed from a series of horizontal layers of timber panels and vertical timber uprights that support the structure. The architectural

promenade elements, such as the elegant nature of the pavilion and the strong sense of horizontality through the series of section partitions, invites visitors to naturally circulate through the interior space. 3

The pavilion is successful in illustrating the potential applications of wood in the construction field by expressing a sense of movement through its design. The intersection between a sequence of horizontal sections and an organic form produces a curvilinear structure that articulates an impression of movement with the aid of strong horizontal elements. This creates an interior space that is dynamic and prone to changes in movement when the interior meets the exterior.

STARPATH

Starpath features a spray-on coating that produces a glow in the dark effect on the ground by capturing UV rays during the day and emitting at night. The technology has been developed by Pro-Teq and an effective and economical alternative to streetlights. The process of Starpath begins with a “polyurethane base and aggregate followed by the bioluminescent material itself and a polyaspartic topcoat that seals the whole thing together”.

Implementing Starpath into our design will allow us to manipulate the visitor’s movement throughout the site by its visual lighting effect. We can also incorporate pavegen with Starpath as a means of generating electrical energy.
