| DESIGN NAME: Lightscape Pavilion PRIMARY FUNCTION: Art Installation INSPIRATION: Lightscape Pavilion combines digital fabrication methods with local specific material, such as bamboo dowels. The design concept is inspired by the traditional Chinese lantern, which is made with bamboo and paper. This pavilion is a lightweight structure, accompanied with curved resting benches and lighting. In the evening, the lights gently pass through thin bamboo dowels and create a soft, delicate atmosphere. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Lightscape Pavilion was installed on the top of Treasure Hill in Taipei, where is an old settlement with a vision of an artist compound. The contrast between the new and the old, villagers and the artists, creates an interesting dialogue, which can be experience by the visitors. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Treasure Hill in Taipei is an old settlement with a vision of an artist compound.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Bamboo dowel, laser computer-numerical-c SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 21.2 m² TAGS: MisoSoupDesign, Daisuke Nagatomo, Lightscape Pavilion, Bamboo RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Lightscape Pavilion exams possibility of utilizing digital fabrication tools, such as CNC milling machine and laser cutter for full-scale architectural assembly. By incorporating standardized dowels for most of structural members, the digitally fabricated acrylic joints plays major role of forming an organic shape structure. The focal point of this experimental project is to propose a local solution of global digital fabrication phenomenon. CHALLENGE: The most challenging point for the pavilion assembly was to figure out the structural capability of the hollow bamboo columns. Intensive structural test was made for several prototypes to exam its capability and finally configured weaving bamboo dowels structural system. Bamboo dowel is not only the essence of the design, but also traditional inheritance of Asian culture. Lightscape Pavilion is creative combination of tradition and new production technologies.
