The concept of the pavilion is to experiment with a developmental pattern in the evolution of an organism, to let spontaneous forces go without mediation. This results into an organic structure that wraps itself with a protective membrane. The skin (i.e. membrane) reveals life from the skeleton.

The pavilion is now one creature dipped in the real bio mass. The inside glow (i.e. internal lighting) reveals a pulsating organism into the night. The permanent incompletion is the evolutionary change that rejects the idea of a prediction about its form of growth…

vienna based firms SPAN and zeytinoglu architects have won the competition for
their design of the austrian pavillion for the shanghai expo 2010.

‘the main driving force behind the design of the austrian pavilion for the expo in
shanghai 2010 can be described as acoustic forces, or more accurately as music.
music as a concept that reflects continuity in terms of architectural articulation
that seamlessly connects the various spaces within the program. the embodiment
of the sonic conditions within the space manifest the architecture of the pavilion,
which resonates to the rhythm of the video jockeys (VJs) performance – the conductor
of the atmospheres within the main space. the rich history of austrian musical
tradition makes it possible to create a performance program reaching from baroque music,
to the classic area to the modern age to contemporary acts. the space unfurls from
within the topological body, from the main space, the audience chamber, to the
exterior epidermis. this process creates pockets, pochés that include the rest of
the program such as shop, restaurant, office, and the VIP area. each one of those
programmatic areas includes qualities co notated with the quality of living within
austrian conurbations: music, culture, culinary expertise, urban textures, opulent
landscapes and lavish foliages.’ — matias del campo, SPAN

These Chilean landmark/benchmarks are as much art installation as they are civic architecture. Three architecture students, R.Hernández, M. Valdés, and O. Véliz created these pieces as a means to delineate an ancient path. These modules give visitors a direction, as well as a place to sit. The pieces themselves are all built from small sections of wood, none larger than 16 centimeters.

Digital Workflow
The project renounces on the application of a structure in the traditional sense. Instead, the space is filled with a 3-dimensional lightweight-sculpture, solely based on minimal surface tension, freely stretching between wall and ceiling and floor.

The design and fabrication procedure uses state-of-the-art digital workflow; beginning with 3D computer modelling, that is engineered structurally before undergoing a process of computer controlled (CNC) material cutting and mechanical re-seaming.

The computer-model, based on the simulation of complexity in naturally evolving systems, feeds directly into a production-line of sail-making-software and digital manufacturing.

The product shows a new way of digital workflow, enabling the generation of space out of a lightweight material that requires minimal adjustments onsite to achieve a complete installation in an extremely short time.

Sustainability
LAVA’s process of optimized minimal surface design and CNC (computer numeric code) fabrication technology allows the sculpture to reveal a new dimension in sustainable design practice.

Fulfilling the sustainable agenda of the venue, the work succeeds in its quest for optimum efficiency in material usage, construction weight, fabrication and installation time, while at the same time achieving maximum visual impact in the large atrium space.

The pavilion is easily transportable to any place in the world; can be quickly installed, and is fully reusable.

Fabrication
The sculpture materials consist of a double stretch, 2 way woven fabric that is mechanically attached to specially designed aluminium track profiles. Each profile is suspended from above, and to the side, on 2mm stainless steel cabling.

Concept
Since the 1970’s, with Frei Otto’s soap-bubble experiments for the Munich Olympic Stadium, naturally evolving systems have been an intriguing area of design research; something that hasn’t been lost on the team and their fascination with new building typologies and naturally developed structures.

The installation is a ‘Minimal Surface’ that consists of a tensioned Lycra material, digitally patterned and custom-tailored for the space. Five sides of the sculpture reach out to carefully hover just off the main interior atrium of the Customs House above the model of the city.

The lightweight fabric design follows the natural lines, contours and surface-tension of the fabric. The curves can be seen as the result of invisible bubbles that are translated into an organic 3-dimensional space.

While appearing solid, the structure is soft and flexible and creates highly unusual spaces within customs house, which come to life with projection and lighting.

Rising up to the top level restaurant, a vertical distance of almost 20m, the sculpture provides an intense visual contrast to the beautifully restored heritage interior of Customs House.

The Customs House ‘Media Wall’ is also activated with content detailing the process of design, engineering, fabrication and installation of the sculpture along with the impressive, recent design projects completed by LAVA across 12 video screens.

The whole installation is immersed in a soundscape by sound artist David Chesworth and graphic design by TOKO, and includes the latest 3D works by visual artist Peter Murphy.

The ‘shell house’ by architect kotaro ide, is a sculptural shell-like structure which has been built in the woods of karuizawa, located in the nagano prefecture of japan. the house is meant to function as a vacation home, which is able to withstand the humid summers and cold winters of the region. to accomplish this, ide opted not to use the typical wood structure of villas in the area because of their susceptibility to decay easily. Instead, he used reinforced concrete to construct two elliptical shell forms which are supposed to represent a conch. From its profile, ‘shell house’ takes on a j-shape which is raised above the ground by 1400 mm resulting in the ‘floating’ masses. ulin wood is used to create terraces around the home with a courtyard into the centre of the main living areas. the villa’s simple aesthetic lends itself well to the traditional japanese landscape, creating a balance between the futuristic man-made structure and the environment which surrounds it. The entire project took more than 18 months to realize and two and a half years to complete.

the danish architects at BIG (bjarke ingels group) have teamed up with the swedish landscape firm NOD for their latest project in stockholm. the project is a revamping of slussen, one of the busiest intersections in downtown stockholm. one of the city’s key goals for the project was reconnecting the historic gamla stan district with södermalm. however the project wasn’t as simple as building a bridge because the slussen is used by cyclists, pedestrians and drivers as well as housing the subway, train and connections to boat lines. the architects needed to find a unifying structure, which could house all these facilities in a layered approach. despite heavy traffic, the new slussen will house rest areas and create a public space on the upper most level. all the levels are connected through ascending a descending ramps, allowing people to move freely between the levels.
