SA+D Student Design Exhibition

This project started as a competition to design a student design exhibition, after that, the winner's design will be built 1:1

It is a class collaboration work, almost over one semester period of time, about 5 months.
The intention was to be ready before the Global Day ( Annual event at the university) on May.

We were divided into two teams: Print making and Construction teams.
I was mainly involved in the construction process, however; at the end, we all joined forces.
The model started out as an exploration of structure, and soon became the main guiding element in the design of the actual structure of the pavilion.
we tried different print making techniques using fiber glass and sanded acrylic we found out that sanded acrylic works better for print making. We tried different color schemes:
- sand + paint
- paint + sand

Fiberglass making
Made out of glass fibers and resin liquid, putting layer after layer and brushing it with a roller to make sure all layers get soaked.
After the fiber glass sheets dried and were ready to use, attaching them to the wall ribs was the next step. The sheets were first attached to the ribs by screws. After that the screws were removed and replaced by fiber sheets and resin on the inner side, which provides a much stronger connection and gives the wall its structure.
After sanding the walls primer was ready to apply. The more you sand the fiberglass the faster the primer dries. So after about 30 mins the white mat paint was applied. Then comes the orange strip..
The base was fabricated in the wood shop of the university and then transported to the site where the columns were attached using screws and drills. The walls were then attached to the base as shown in the detail above. The base was sanded using the belt sander to add plywood floor.
The base was sanded to make it ready for the flooring, the plywood was placed in strips on the base. Then it was screwed in place and then the jig-saw was used to cut the extra parts extending beyond the base.
