This project investigates the formation of an architectural system through the synthesis of form, material, structure, and environment. And our approach merges top-down and bottom-up design methodologies by integrating external influences and material performance into a cohesive system.

This project is about making pavilion by using two different material's properties. in this project, we chose two different kind of PVC. From the beginning we started by producing many modules and units.

From here, we start build each floor in order and assemble each other. The advantage of doing this will allow us to create curvature where ever needed and allow for balance so as the pavilion grows higher it will be able to stand on its own

From the beginning we started by producing many modules and units as well. From here we need to build each floor in order and assemble each together. We started the first level with 8 units then the next would be 7. This would continue up until the 8th level with 1 unit.

The progress shows the progress of how we continued to build up. The advantage of doing this will allow us to create curvature where ever needed and allow for balance so as the pavilion grows higher it will be able to stand on its own
