MEER SURREY - PAVILION OF TRANSFORMATION

Through analysis, we identified 5 key words to guide and frame our design. The key words are: Public/ Interaction/ Adaptability/ Iconic/ Sustainability. We developed our design as a system with base and different applications, which maximized the adaptability and flexibility. The base is a logic and methodology of site design. Meanwhile, it is also a well-designed installation on site. Different applications can be designed and placed to fit into different conditions. Through flow analysis, a “well-designed path” was carved on the site to enhance the sense of connection and interaction. Rest of the site area is slopped and covered by mirror stainless steel sheet to reflect the city of Surrey. It provides people with a different lens to reinterpret and interact with the city. While the designed “path” framing flow on the site, it is covered by soft wood chips, which delivers the warm of the city to people who pass by. A “node space” was also created on the designed path, where a “pavilion” is placed to attract people to stop and communicate. The pavilion roof was made of mirror stainless steel sheet, where people can look up and interact with themselves. The whole project talks stories about reinterpreting the city, city life, nature and human.
