Expanding under the tree

The idea behind this project is to create a sense of balance between the two pavilion components, which can be divided by both the x and y axes. By doing this, the pavilions two sides will be balanced and equal. Another significant element that represents the design of each side is the fact that one side of the facade is made of a polycarbonated sheet that feels translucent and allows light to pass through more readily than the other side. On the other hand, the opposite side is composed of the extended metal sheet, which can give the impression that it is darker than the other side. Additionally, the expanded sheet can give the impression that it is more solid and that there is more shadow than the other side. As a result, it may have the sensation of yin and yang, which in Taoism, a Chinese philosophy and religion, represents balance. Thus, the design and materials of this pavilion combine light and shade, transparency and solidity, and openness and containment.

The Oscillation Pavilion explores the rhythmic qualities of wave and curve through expanded metal. Its twisting skin generates alternating patterns of light, shadow, and airflow, transforming a rigid material into a fluid architectural expression. The circular form creates a central gathering space, while the curved façade panels emphasize the idea of continuous motion, expansion, and structural lightness.
