Placement of the Pavilion

Recently development of the final concept has been the main focus of our time. We are looking into many different aspects of how to improve the structure, designing the structural elements, and looking at how the structure is to be built and collapsed.

A main part of this was the placement of the pavilion.

After brainstorming ideas on placements and the reasons for such placements, we have decided roughly on where the pavilion is to be situated.

As we can see from the sketch, the pavilion is to be placed on the west side of the campus green adjacent to paths to the west and south of the structure. The location was picked for many reasons:

• Proximity to DUSA and the main road leading to the campus green.
• In view from may different entrances onto the campus green eg. from Matthew Building, ISE, Library and Seabraes Halls.
• Access points from pathways around the site, encouraging visitors and flow through the pavilion.
• Seen from the Air bars' floor to ceiling windows, generating interest and encouraging visitors to the structure.
• Possibility to use outdoor space near to union where there is a heavy footfall.
• etc.

This placement is not as yet finalised however it gives a great deal of understanding of what can be done to further the development of the design.
