Tongji university design team : O STRIP
by shuang gao from china
designer's own words:
THE PROCESS
This project use parametric design technology, as the constrained fabrication agenda and limited budget, we focus more on the possibility of materials and fabrication techniques, the final structure consists of 484 unique pieces, which, once gathered, created a 3D curved loop. This unusual form incites curiosity of passer-by, moreover, it accepts different activities and events. Thanks to the parametric design techniques, the fabrication process has been well controlled, that is exact geometry generation to piece labeling, assembly logic and actual fabrication.
CONCLUSIONS
O-STRIP Pavilion is a powerful campus attractor. It not only attracts architecture students, professors but also the uninitiated, who bring a lot of informal activities here, thus proving to be more than an unimportant temporary shelter. Furthermore, it successfully provides a flexible and comfortable space for variable events such as tea party, dating, photography, etc.
Not all uploaded projects will be published on designboom.
