sin(WAVE)































Some images of the last (lost) competition entry for the London Tent Art Fund Pavilion 2009.
sin(WAVE) is defined by two 5-degree surfaces which are modulating respectively the structural canopy and a lounge area at ground level. The surfaces are generated through a network of sine/cosine curves which are shaping a tripod structure.



















sin(WAVE) addresses the pavilion requirement to negotiate between inside/outside qualities by creating a provisional structure which fluidly supply repair with its roof while offering reconfigurable settings with movable partitions (lounge-scape area, vertical wall..).















































The grid shell is formed by, respectively, 55 longitudinal and 25 transversal ribs each of which can be easily fabricated with a laser cut machine. Above an internal shot of the 1:25 laser cut model. Special thanks to Andrew Payne for its grasshopper definition for waffle structural systems.
