Architectural education ›Architectural Association: student pavilionsThe Intermediate Unit 2 pavilions have used innovative › Design studio projects
materials such as Kerto, a lightweight laminated veneer
lumber (LVL) in different configurations and forms according
to the design of each pavilion. In addition to physical models
and prototypes, they have used digital modelling to design
and manufacture via Computer Integrated Manufacturing
(CIM) techniques.
Driftwood Pavilion was inspired by the unit’s interest
in the idea of motion and the eroded rock formations and
architecture of the Jordanian city of Petra. It provides
a semi-enclosed space surrounded by an undulating
and contoured timber wall of varying thickness and with
occasional openings. It is constructed from 28 layers of
4mm-thick bent plywood on a spruce sub-frame. The team
generated 112 technical drawings in order to manufacture
and construct the pavilion.Driftwood Pavilion by
