This project was a study of an existing student pavilion in Peru, originally built as a structure for appreciating archaeology. We analyzed the design, understood its construction logic, and then built a 1:1 scale model of a key construction detail using wooden slats and screws at the university.
The pavilion's structure is all about how simple modular elements create a complex form. I developed all the 3D models, visualizations, and technical axonometric drawings to understand how the pieces fit together. The construction method itself is really interesting: wooden slats connected with screws, with textile woven through the structure. The textile doesn't just add visual softness, it actually plays a structural and spatial role in defining the pavilion.
Building the detail at 1:1 scale meant solving real construction problems: how pieces connect, how weight distributes, how the joint actually works, and how the textile integrates with the wood framework. You learn different things when you're holding the materials and making the connections work in reality rather than just drawing them.
