 Published in “Parametric Approach to Pavilion Design

The nature pavilion is a space made of parametric crust trying to find its way and grow like a rhizome. It has an organic structure, separates from the land, summits, and comes down again. It lets human and plants analyze its inside and outside, the plants grow on its ceiling, and hang inside from its openings. It invites human to climb it, see its kinks and twists, sit on it, touch it, and even slip. The pavilion structure has designed using Tessellation technique in 3Ds Max software and is covered by a wood surface.

The pavilion pillars are in fact continuation of the triangular surfaces of the structure reaching the floor. Contrary to the last two pavilions, floor of this pavilion is flat considering its application to exhibit the digital products. It has been tried to strongly refer to the role of the nature in selecting the name, materials and structure of the pavilion among the modern technology products such that it is attractive to the visitors more than the products.

Rhizome

In arboriculture and botany, rhizome is a horizontal rootstock with outer roots and crawling stems. If the rhizome is cut to small parts, each part shall be able to produce a new plant. Contrary to other plants, stem of the rhizome plants grows subsoil horizontally and its leaves are out of the soil. If any part of its stem is cut, it shall not waste. Rather, it shall grow subsoil from the cut point and produce new shoots.

The rhizome is the factor of relation and alteration and makes creation of an endless network possible since every point of which can connect to its other points. Contrary to the trees which root in a fixed point, rhizomes may continue their life and grow in other directions even when they are broken.  (Reference: Flowers and plants database – http://nargil.ir)
