Oscillation was the accumulation of all of Media & Modeling III’s lessons, practices, and methods to create a unique pavilion project utilizing grasshopper and any related plug-ins or software.
The design intent was to create a pavilion that could be transported across the country or the world, and set up in various cities and locations as a temporary installation, with its final destination residing in the desert to exist within the landscape.
The design inspiration was that of a skeletal, or ribbed structure that would be able to hold its weight structurally while also having the ability to be assembled and re-assembled again in separate parts. Additionally, we wanted to incorporate a moment of overlap between the two pavilion pieces such that different nodes of the pavilion would have a variance in shadow complexion as the sun passes through the day.
As a means of exporting and creating the model, we utilized a script to position the ribbed pieces within a boundary to send off to the laser cutter where we used 1/16th chipboard to act as the primary material.
