e-Motion Pavilion
This project was a continuation off of the theory led exercise called "A Mr. Calvin Story". In this story, a man named Calvin would walk to the store every Sunday for 50 years to get milk. This exercise was a prompt to explore the possibility of the phenomenological reduction and architecture design of Deja-vu. This iteration I developed was to depict Calvin's monotonous journey from his home to the store. If we analysis his movements and catalog them by a constant frame of reference (that we will call time) we are allowed to develop a deeper relation to Calvin as "we" the user of the pavilion can experience just as many variations to our "walk to the store" as Calvin would've in his fifty years of life.
This is a pavilion space that is meant to interact with our lives, through different scales, and be a non bias voice for people within the pavilion. The Interior spaces were meant to be dynamic as the more radical the sensor readings are, the more interesting the lighting becomes. e-Motion started as a 2D randomized placement of "frames of reference". The shape took form once these frames became free flowing movement, similar to how an intestine moves. The form is basically a circular, flexible ribs that are lofted together, think of draping a piece of cloth over these ribs. (The formation can be seen in the figures shown to the right). The project would have sensors within tunnel and the sensors react and graph the emotions of the occupant and these graphs are then 3 demensionally projected through the exterior sheet on the tunnel, creating a wild morphic piece that becomes the entertainment for the people outside of the pavilion.
These frames vary in size and proportion as to relate the time variations, but the wild shapes are the projections of the a 3D scanner reading the physical language given by the user of the pavilion and graphing them of a charge of determined meanings over time and from that create a crazy imprint on the fabric material to create this incredible interior space, unique to each individual user. This is a pavilion space that is meant to interact with our lives, through different scales. This odd, yet anticipated comfortable and safe atmosphere with how the pavilion affects the lighting as the sensors capture a feeling, and it also becomes a voice to others as a form of non-bias communication to others outside of the pavilion.
