Diagramming ("communication skills")
Threshold Diagram
The two open facets of the pavilion can be considered as two thresholds of enabling people to pass through it. They are connecting inside and outside which are with and without the roof shelter covered. The threshold on the slope is semi-open because of the hollow tubes and visitors may be attracted by the views from the gaps. The overall shape formed by the three thresholds looks like diverging from the bottom left corner to the top right corner which draws people's attention to the performance space (events).
Circulation Diagram
The circulation paths on the ground within the pavilion is relatively simple either from left to right or the other way around. Around the pavilion, the movement of visitors may be more active due to the seating areas and the sloped topography which makes the design more interesting. At the top of the pavilion, the shelter comprised a series of hollow tubes of ellipticals shapes for ventilation and sunshine to pass through. The gradient of the color indicates the crowdedness of the corresponding area per day.
Parametric Modelling Design

Digital Model (3 parts)

Part 3
Iterative Process
(Matrix)
Parametric Modelling
For the first stage, I was trying to imitate the possible configurations of the precedents attracting me most. For example, I am interested in to the tweening changes and then created similarity in the second model. The panels in the third one are also appealing and the fourth one is the prototype design of integrating ground and human experience within the pavilion.
