Turning point

This is a proposal for a pavilion celebrating the process of making through a journey of trial and error. It is an ode to the design process. The brief called for a demountable travelling pavilion that would celebrate the art of making. The first site for the pavilion is in Weymouth, Southern England, where it will then go on to travel around the UK. The art of making is a process shrouded in mystery. We all strive to make great things in an artful way, but what is the process that gets us there? We were fascinated by the design process and wanted to explore how we could represent it spatially. Immersed within our own design process, we developed a scheme that attempts to represent this process of trial and error. The pavilion takes the visitor on a derive - a journey that is not straight-forward but instead lingers on those moments of error and celebrates them. As the visitor makes their way through the building, the exhibition becomes more and more refined, as do the spaces themselves - tying together the spatial experience with the exhibited objects.
