Entwurf eines temporären Pavillons. FH Aachen (Germany)
The first concept was to create a temporary building with a moveable cover. The idea derived from the matchbox-principle. On this basis I developed a glass-box with moveable elements. For the covering skins I chose different textures.
The pavillion is positioned, as a communication point, between the two university buildings, in front of their entrances. It turns out of the quadratic stock system of the existing buildings to detach from these structures.
I chose a clear, unobtrusive shape with a clear structured interior. A function-box divides the space into an exhibition/lecture-part and a multimedia-part. The pavillion obtains its lightness by the use of glass, the moveable elements and the support-construction of glass.
At the front entrance you enter the building by means of a staircase and from the back you can use a ramp.
The construction is based on a 1,25 m raster. The pavillion is dismountable in segments with a width of 2.50 m. The entire construction is made of glass. Fixed stuffed glassheds are the construction-frame for the insulation-glazing (sun-protected-glass). In the lateral axis glassheds positioned at the top of the frames, ensure the stuffness. They are connected with the function-box to stabilize the structure.
The pavillion is surrounded by horizontal moveable sun-protecting elements. These are horizontal moveable frames with roll up membranes to the south-, east-, westside and at the top. A mesh of branches forms an interesting contrast to the glazing-façade on the north-side, changing light reflexes arise from the membran behind. The multimedia-part gets only diffuse light. Solar elements, (60m²) biaxial moveable, are on the top side of the pavillion.
In order to regulate the room-temperature the sliding elements can be arranged flexibly. The function-box contains an air-conditioning-system. The entrance functions as a climate-buffer. A technical-box ensures the energy–support underneath the building.
