Planting Progress: A Pavilion for Cleaner Air Education & Action (AIR)
BRIEF:
BRIEF:
Design a pavilion , that provides a local resource that people may drop into to find out more about a specific climate emergency theme (issue) at stake and understand how they might change their behaviour to mitigate climate change. The building will also host small organised community learning events based on the issues that you are investigating. The building should be between 50-70m2 in floor area.
The space should be designed to accommodate around 12 people at a time - in all seasons - to engage in learning activities around the climate emergency theme you have been allocated (the theme details are in the next section). In addition, you should include:
● Kitchenette/brew space ● General storage ● A sheltered place to wait ● 2 accessible public toilets ● A small office space for 1-2 people
Our specific group, got the Sub-Theme of 'Air', focusing on the issue of 'Air quality/air pollution, car use reduction/cycling, pollution from tyres & brake pads, green transport, etc.
● Design for Disassembly ● Life Cycle Analysis Diagram ● An off-grid solution
Planting Progress: A Pavilion for Cleaner Air Education & Action (AIR)
The pavilion is designed to accommodate a group of around 15 to 25 people comfortably. Its three points of access are strategically positioned to enhance the flow of people, reducing congestion and creating a more dynamic environment. Inside, there are two fully accessible bathrooms, and above them, overhead storage provides additional utility space. The pavilion also includes a small office space located behind the counter.
One of the key features of the pavilion is its central display boards, which promote education about cleaner air and related topics. This setup aims to raise awareness and knowledge among visitors. To engage the public, plant sales are arranged around the room's perimeter, enticing customers and enhancing the pavilion's aesthetic appeal.
Hyperbolic Parabolic Roof, aka 'SADDLE ROOF'
ROOF SHAPING
A parabolic roof, also known as a 'saddle roof,' is a type of architectural roof design that resembles a parabolic curve or an inverted U-shape.
It features a gently curved, symmetrical structure that rises from the eaves on two opposing sides and meets at a peak or ridge in the centre, creating a visually striking and unique appearance.
