This assignment was based on building a small construction to display two objects from the Glasgow Collection on a site at the Burrell Gallery in Glasgow. The Glasgow Collection is a group who help designers get their ideas off the drawing board and into the market. The driving force behind the pavilion was that the brief didn't actually ask for an enclosed space, merely something to protect the objects to the level that each one would require, exhibit them in an effective way. After much idea generation I came to the conclusion that a design which accommodated all functions with minimal profile would be the way forward. I merely had to shelter the objects from the weather. The lamp was metallic and could be used to light the pavilion, and the table was made from wood. Both could withstand the cold and wind, but not rain. I required no walls and no enclosure, only protection from rain. I decided that any vertical elements were unsuitable. By eliminating all verticals I came to the conclusion that the objects could be attached to the underside of two diagonal pieces. Both providing shelter, fixing and minimal materials with only two contact points with the ground. The pavilion can very easily be removed and recycled. |
