Assembly One Pavilion / Yale School of Architecture Students

SELECTED BUILDINGS

Chris Morgan Photography

The Yale Assembly One pavilion is the younger, smaller, more carefree sister to Yales building project a 40-year old tradition in which first-year students design and building a house. It is the product of a seminar and design studio in which students focused on alternative ways in which contemporary buildings can come together and the potential architectural effects computational and material techniques can offer. The Assembly One pavilion is designed to act as an information center for New Havens summer International Festival of Arts and Ideas and therefore was developed with the following characteristics in mind: dynamism, visual transparency and visual density.

Dynamism: The structure is suited to a performance festival solid and massive from one angle, lightweight and almost entirely porous from another, it alternately hides and reveals its contents. Visual Transparency: Constructed from thin aluminum sheets, the pavilion opens up on two sides for ventilation and security, focusing views toward the festivals main stage. Visual Density: Over 1000 panels create shifting effects of reflection and color as visitors move around the pavilion, creating less of a timeless image of shelter than an unstable, engaging heart of the festival. We treated the tenets of digital fabrication as basic assumptions our ability to efficiently produce variable and unique components and the cultural implications of moving beyond standardized manufacturing. But, we were less concerned with the uniqueness of the objects we created than on the novel types of tectonic expression they allowed.

So Tired
Im so tired of seeing stereotypical comments taking w eak jabs at projects on architecture

blogs. They all sound the same, w hine about trivialities and make young readers of architecture blogs feel like the professions dialogue is overw helmed by bland, tired noise. How about some critical comments?
