PROJECT STATEMENT

This pavilion took inspiration from the pivotal work of Georges Rousse who has expertly Photoshopped the actual physical landscape we took the same approach to our own project. The project, much like the QR code that is attached to it, requires the “correct” positioning in order to read it “properly”. As one encircles the pavilion, following what appear to be continuous lines they are led to realize that it was all a matter of perspective. What appears to be one is actually many, formed through black paint and its very absence. When one gets closer to the pavilion and the illusion becomes lost, they are met by a jumble of shapes crafted with fundamental principles of line and curve making. These come together to give someone a range of possibilities as to how to interact with it. Whether to sit and take a break, climb over and treat it as an obstacle, or to just relax against it. The illusion is broken when someone engages with it physically. The narrative exists in a competing world where you can be misled by the sculptural illusion or interact with it physically as furniture.
