Conceptual Design Project

This semester we have been assigned the task of designing a travelling pavilion for the University of Dundee and DUSA (Dundee University Student's Association) to be located on campus, specifically on the campus green located in the centre of the campus. Various restraints were given in the brief to be worked around however the design and 'look' of the pavillion itself was for us as the designers to decide upon.

To start with, we researched current design portfolios to come up with an idea of what is expected. This one, a design of the new V&A building in Dundee by the architects at REX was particulary inspiring as they were able to show exactly how they envisioned the building and what they wanted to do with the space within seconds of opening their portfolio.
