Parts For Play Pavilion
Site: Innovation District Park, Providence, RI
Fall 2022 Core 1
Instructor: Evan Farley
Through a series of relief models made by studying the geometry of the Sonsbeek Pavilion in plan, I derived a new language of geometry that was deployed on the site of Providence's Innovation District Park as a set of Pavilions. I started by taking the grid that is prominently seen in Sonsbeek’s plan and using it as a framing device, rotating and layering the plan on top of itself to form new shapes in the overlaps. To create a three-dimensional structure I thought about how these shapes could be extruded at different levels to create a hierarchy of space. Color was used throughout this project to designate the different layering of geometry, and later as spatial distinctions. The unique geometry allowed for the parts to be layered and played with in multiple ways.
