Tikish 2017
This project is shaped at the intersection of technology as a new method of construction and the collective memory of the habitats of the region regarding the architecture!
Therefore; this course focused on constructing a symbolic object , which embodies technology and it’s advancements then creates interest as the result. On the other hand it signals and connect to people collective memory so it is both accepted and appreciated by their culture and beliefs.
In terms of form and shape; this canopy can create spaces on its boundaries which were formed by the conversion of a surface.
Horizontal surface which is arising from the floor is holding the object in place just like the root and trunk of a tree, converts to vertical (based on static optimization of the structure) elements of the pavilion and eventually lead to the vertical orientation of the upper surface as the branches of a tree.
These elements then cast geometrical shadows and creates a playful shade for the pedestrians yet look native to them since the geometry is derived directly from their urban context and ornaments.
