AE INT 03 Pavilion Architecture
Course Description
Buildings with a clear design concept offer memorable experiences for people as they move through and engage. Taking inspiration from pavilions by renowned architects, develop a design concept based on how you want people to feel in your architecture. Working iteratively, make a physical model to visualize your design concept.
Based on the annual Serpentine Pavilion competition in London, UK
