Twisted Pavilion

This is a exploration of Toyo Ito's pavilion to understand the parametric and fabrication techniques

Project Details

Location: Torrevieja, Spain

Year: 2023

Status: Academic

Sector: Architecture

Typology: Pavilion, Cultural

Scope/Role: Architect

Area: 80.900 Sq.M

A. Base Tube

Points to derive the base curve

Divide curve and perpendicular planes

Polygons creation against the plane

Scale polygon using graph mapper and loft surfaces

B. Curves on Surfaces - Darboux Frame

Relaxation Park in Torrevieja by Toyo Ito

Build Darboux trihedron

T Tangent of the curve

B Binormal vector: cross product of T and N

T N B Darboux trihedcron

Beam from list of rectangle loft

Beam following the curve and adapting to surface normal

N Normal of the surface at the point

T N B Darboux trihedcron

Rectangle built on Darboux Frame

All beams from list of rectangle loft

Twisting Structure

Interpolate the vertices of the polygon to form primary structure

Secondary structure as line between two primary structures

Shift between points for secondary beams

Remove items at end of the list to attain opening in the shell

C. Data Representation

Normal on primary axis, to build Draboux frame which is used to extrude secondary beams

Frenet frames are derived using primary structure and surface, which is used to loft rectangular frame

Normal on primary axis, to build Draboux frame which is used to extrude secondary beams

D. Fabrication Geometry

E. Parametric Variations

Pipe length: 112.3 mFloor area: 41 m2

E. Details

Plate joint are grouped and labeled for data representation

Each of the plates are unrolled and represented with a solid line for cutting edge and dashed line as folding line

Unrolled surfaces of each plate

Computational Designer in Catalonia

Interested in generative design, computational geometry, machine learning, new media, and game design. With a broad experience with Architectural Sustainability and the integration of parametric 3D modeling and simulation tools into the process, I have worked on projects at various scales - from buildings to planning, and have been involved in research and education programs.
