Assignment 3.A (Updated) Martha Morales and Yenifer Cordoba

The idea was to follow the structure from the wearable (Shoulder line contour) and create a space of interaction and relaxation with a pattern similar to water ripples in order to create the experience of been under the water. The pattern of the frame will create this illusion though the use of light and shadows. Some pavilion inspirations were used through the process.

Inspiration:

ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2014-15

"ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2014-15, by The Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the University of Stuttgart (Germany), in Stuttgart, Germany. The Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the University of Stuttgart (Germany) are known for their full-scale bionic research pavilions’ experiments, computational design, robotic fabrication strategies, functional integration, and material efficiency. One of the most recent structures at the university is the 2014-15 Research Pavilion, which demonstrates the architectural potential of a novel building method inspired by the underwater nest construction of the diving bell water spider, Agyroneda aquatica."
