This project examines a range of performative qualities and possibilities of using wood as the main building material for a small pavilion.
A system of thin wooden ribs of different lengths is deployed and offset to create variation. The self-supportive system of horizontal laths is being modified and designed as a pattern. The contrast between semi-transparent and solid areas offer programmatic opportunities, and atmospheric nuances and the properties of massive wood is emphasized. It becomes a system of light and shadow.
