The emergent logic derived form A Pattern Language seeks to rationalise the main objective of the text - user centred design, and how this could dictate shape grammar and form generation.
Starting with the ‘user’, we look at scale in one axis, and ‘Requirement’ in the other. All categories and variables are connected and interchangeable. However, each route - from User to Form - can represent any form of building architecture. In the case of this project, because of the limited user base - it will naturally focus on the ‘Human’ scale with my primary ‘Requirement’ looking at structure.
To generate a playful response from the user, the interact-ability of human scales and features are considered. Individual experiences of ‘sight’ of users of different scales and acceptabilities will yield varied, but generally homogeneous results. In that, any user will be able to interact with the pavilion.
