After presentation the main feedback points of improvement were:
– The audience didn't get the 'natural disaster' theme
– It was interpreted as more of an installation than a pavilion
The audience didn't understand what the pavilion was about. As soon as we mentioned 'natural disaster' they understood it completely and suggested that we do something to the outside to indicate the idea before a user enters.
We had talked about this while constructing the pavilion but had steered clear as we felt it was too explicit.
The audience also believed that it was more of an installation than a pavilion. This was down to the fact that it was more of an individual experience. Even though the pavilion was enclosed and was an actual structure they felt that unless the structure that our structure was within (in our case the classroom) was utilised in order to get something across then it is an installation rather than a pavilion. They also felt that this was the perfect opportunity to get across the idea of 'natural disaster' before the user enters into the zone of 'isolation through lack of communication.'
