Design Prompt:

The main design challenge is to create a singular civic pavilion, which will:

• Serve as a ‘hub’ and ‘signal’ for Copenhagen ADD and innovative danish design in general; a place where locals and tourists can come to gather information on the day-to-day design events being held around the city.

• Serve as a civic meeting point; a place where locals and tourists can meet at the start of guided tours, as well as a place to meet-up for more informal design rendezvous amongst friends and other design enthusiasts.

• Serve as a showcase for young design talents. (One new talent will be showcased each day of the festival)

• The pavilion itself must fit within a volume of no more than 6x6x6 meters

Design Concept:

The cylinder pavilion opens with 6 rotating panels during the sunny days and the panels are closed at night for security. The closed pavilion sits within 6mx6mx6m.

• Expansion of space for larger gathering and a spectrum of design work

• Dynamic Circulations in a busy public plaza

• Flexible for move and stay, a space serves different experiences

Design Strategy:

Outer side of the panels serve as benches for sitting

Inner side serves as platform to display exhibitions

I tried to break the spatial constrains and invent a smart way of using the space that also fits the context
