Nicholas Ashby and Andrew T Moller have designed a pavilion for the Form and Function Convention (April 30-May 2 at the Exhibition Centre), to represent Design for Change.
Below is the proposal:
Proposal
For the exhibition we are investigating existing systems that can be adapted to create a pavilion.
We did not want to create or customize materials rather adapt or manipulate an everyday product.
We proposed it to be a flexible system, reusable, temporary, easily assembled and disassembled.
We investigated the use of functional and practical everyday, every-job trade equipment that had potential to be re-used in a formal way.
Because of this, we wanted to use a product that was available for hire, traditionally unrecognised as architectural, and transform it into something that qualifies as functional and formal, touching on thematic instances of sustainability.
Concept
The 2009 Form and Function pavilion
‘A structure of standard every-job construction scaffolding’.
We want to investigate the broader possibilities of scaffolding in terms of its structure, and its ornamental and aesthetic properties.
Our intention is to assemble scaffolding in a way that is both highly designed and ornamental.
Scaffolding is made up of a few standard components and presents lots of options for generating a complex and provocative design.
We see ‘Scaffolding’ utilized at the birth of every new building, and removed at the end.
However, can scaffolding stand as the end product?
We are seeking to transform how scaffolding assists in sculpting the built environment, but more importantly how the material can become the architecture itself.
