PERTH-PAVILLION PROJECT
to solve the urgent need for shelter in remote areas
to solve the urgent need for shelter in remote areas
“The project brief was as follows:
You must create an exciting and original structure employing ‘green’ technologies and principles to solve the urgent need for shelter in remote areas and communities at times of disaster or distress.
Through innovative and challenging design that transcends, extends and critiques current building practices, the winning Pavilion Project entry will present a viable solution to providing economical and environmentally friendly shelter by fusing art and architecture.
Criteria
The pavilion should be:
deliverable, when mass produced, to developing countries for a maximum cost of US$12,000 (AUD$14,700)
about 100sqm in size.
Innovation
To ensure we have diversity of approach and encourage creative thinking the brief is consciously open – the only requirement is that it provides shelter.
It is the challenge of applicants to push the boundaries of innovative design to produce architecture that not only provides an economical shelter for areas of need, but also responds directly to specific sites and uses readily available local materials.
Constructability
The pavilion will need to be to be assembled by non-skilled workers and, in some circumstances, without power or lifting gear, so constructability needs to be a consideration. Designs should demonstrate innovative thinking and sustainable practices.”
