SUN-TIME PAVILION

| Autumn sunset |
The aim of the project is to improve a pedestrian pier. This pier is very popular due to its location, people come from all around in every season because there is a amazing view of the sunrise at east, and of the sunset in the other side. The goal is to create something that enhances this aspect and also is a shelter from the rain and from the wind as well as shade in summer.
In order to create a unique shape that fuse all the elements a series of stretched sails twist from westside to eastside through 180 degree become a canopy in the middle of its path.
To create something that belongs to this place the structural solution is based on the ship sails technology, which use a catenary structure of steel tension cables supported by a steel pipe grid. This solution allows to have at the same time a very light design and a strong structure.
The translucent nature of the fabric material allows to the pavilion to merge itself in the colour of the environment becoming uniform part of the panorama.
