for some reason all of my pavilions were the size of sydney when i imported an fbx into unreal.. i just uniform scaled them to fit the site except for the terminal line pavilions which i stretched to fit the site better.

PHASE_02:PAVILION || THE MOBILITY

The design of this pavilion was inspired by the ferrofluid that was shown to us during the mobility lecture. The needle like properties of ferrofluid when inside a magnetic field is replicated through out the pavilion design. the structure of the pavilion was produced with the dynamic realisation of kangaroo. the surface created from that was then overlayed with stellation from weaverbird. Originally, i was planning for this to be the floor of the pavilion but i soon realised that it makes for a better roof design.


















PHASE_02:PAVILION || THE EMERGENCE

The inspiration behind this pavilion design was the image of a school of fish in the emergence lecture. the way i replicated this natural phenomenon was by populating a curved geometry on a mobius surface. this created an effect similar to how a school of fish looks like. the "fish" on my pavilion design differ in size and is determined by an attractor point. this gives the design better depth as it doesn't just have something repeating over and over again in exactly the same way


















PHASE_02:PAVILION || THE TERMINAL LINE

a terminal line is supposed to be a temporary loss of smoothness within a single surface. the pavilion designed her is far from smooth but still reflect this notion of a terminal line that goes through the center of this pavilion. the terminal line is created by an inconsistency, an irregularity in the pattern that the surface of this pavilion. The terminal line is further exaggerated by the center, wire-frame structure. this part of the pavilion acts as an extension to Cathedral street for pedestrians which links Dowling and McElhone street. 


















i had to scale non uniform on unreal to make it fit the site...
