Wasted - Pavilion brief

14.04.16

In studio we reflected on the different pavilions that were collected during the break. It was really interesting to see the range of structures that people had considered and gave me inspiration in regard to how much freedom we have with this brief. We then separated into groups specific to one of the 10 stories that are available for us to interpret. I chose the 'Wasted" story and in our group of 5 we brainstormed how we could go about creating a pavilion that would reflect the story and include elements of typography within it.

One of the suggestions that the group engaged with was the idea of a structure that is constantly changing, where recycled materials can be both added to and removed from the pavilion to encourage and promote recycling within the student body. We also discussed how letterforms might be incorporated into this design.

Another idea that I found particularly interesting was to do with the recycling of coffee materials - cups, bags, beans, grinds etc. This theme is really relevant to Wellington in particular and it sparked some interesting ideas around how a pavilion could be created from the recycling of these materials.
