The Entangled Pavilion Presents An Interactive, Solar-Powered Landmark - Yanko Design
"The structure centers around a large circular steel support frame that can accommodate an optional glass canopy for weather protection. Four substantial steel roof segments attach to this frame, each mounted on motorized wheels that run along perimeter tracks. The geometric forms create striking visual contrasts against any landscape, with their bold, sculptural presence making the pavilion an unmistakable landmark."
"Of course, the real magic happens through the interactive mechanics that bring the pavilion to life. Each roof segment pivots from a central mast and moves independently around the support frame, powered by electric motors. You can configure these segments into countless arrangements, creating different patterns of shade, enclosure, and openness depending on what the space needs at any given moment."
"The interaction method feels refreshingly analog in our digital age. A detailed steel model of the pavilion sits atop a central pedestal, complete with movable segments that mirror the full-scale structure. Visitors can physically manipulate this model, arranging the segments however they envision the space. When they press the "move" button, the actual pavilion automatically reconfigures itself to match their design."
A responsive pavilion physically transforms based on visitor interaction and changing needs. A large circular steel support frame can accommodate an optional glass canopy, with four substantial steel roof segments mounted on motorized wheels running along perimeter tracks. Each roof segment pivots from a central mast and moves independently around the support frame, powered by electric motors, enabling numerous arrangements that modify shade, enclosure, and openness. Interaction occurs through a detailed steel tabletop model with movable segments that mirror the full-scale structure; visitors arrange the model and press the "move" control to trigger the pavilion to reconfigure.
