As a class we decided that all of the pavilions had strong ideas but certain elements were letting down each one. Two pavilions were put to the side (the telephone box and the plant scaffolding one) and it was decided that all the problems with the others fell under the four categories of:
– Structure - The actual structure of the pavilion wasn't sound or could be improved
– Material - The materials used could be explored more or the current choice diluted the idea
– Type - The type used in the pavilion could be more thought out or wasn't strong enough
– Visualisation - The way the pavilion was presented didn't show the idea as well as it could
I chose to join the visualisation team which was allocated these two pavilions to work on in terms of visualising:
– Ping pong
– Camembert
—
Within the visualisation team we found we had a lot of people so split into smaller teams again:
– Plan and elevation drawings for both pavilions
– Visualisations for Ping Pong - 3D renders and model walkthrough
– Visualisations for Camembert - Animations/gifs to show the expanding + contracting latex
– Visualisations of the whole set of pavilions - Thinking about and planning how the 10 pavilions will be presented/exhibited (book?)
I chose to join the Ping Pong visualisation team.
