The Obverse/Reverse Pavilion: An Example of a Form-Finding Design of Temporary, Low-Cost, and Eco-Friendly Structure

Temporary pavilions play an important role as experimental fields for architects, designers, and engineers, in addition to providing exhibition spaces. Novel structural formal solutions applied also can give them unusual appearance that attracts the eyesight of spectators. In this article, authors explore possibility combining novelty, visual attractiveness, low cost design construction a temporary pavilion. For purpose, innovative system approach was applied, i.e., membrane structure designed Rhino Grasshopper environments with use Kiwi!3D IsoGeometric analysis tool. The pavilion, named Obverse/Reverse, built Opole, Poland, occasion World Architecture Day July 2019. were performed by cooperation students belonging Humanization Urban Environment organization from Faculty Wroclaw University Science Technology. resultant pavilion proved potential obtaining low-budget but visually attractive architectural solution adaption parametrical tools some scientific background systems.
