DESIGN CONCEPT
The Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Mies van der Rohe is known for its materials. The materials are what give it its true architectural essence as well as experiential qualities that the pavilion embodies, and that is what I carried forward into my design intervention. Mies’ implementation of the marble is created through a process of splitting, called broaching, that creates a symmetrical pattern that’s found in the marble. The inspiration for ‘Algorithmic Emergence: 3D Marble Broaching was drawn from the patterns created by this technique.
Curves derived from existing marble wall
In spite of the pattern on the marble wall being 2D, the visual effect on the viewer was that of 3D because of the growth. This was translated and used as a base for the growth of this project. It would be almost as though the marble is growing outwards from the wall.
INTERVENTION LOCATION
The marble wall located inside the pavilion was chosen at the center of this project.
