DESERT PAVILION | SPECULATION

Desert Pavilion derived from the methods that artist Sol LeWitt used to create his wall drawings. What started as fifty random points became two thousand lines, intersecting and connecting with every other one to form a geometric shape. Through the process of folding, planes emerged that created form, structure, and skin.

Burning from a laser became the indeterminate plane from which the structure was cut. Process models explore plays on light and shadow that cascade down from the voids of intersecting points and lines. After various iterations, the lines developed into a secondary paneling system to defuse light and play with shadows. The setting of the structure would be between two sides of a canyon, folding over the river that flows through.
