This project is a self-build pavilion on campus. The design approach is biomimicry, emulating nature's time-tested patterns and strategies. It focussed on the manner in which a fern frond emerges. So, how is the manner applied to architectural space? The answer is this pavilion with the transformation system between bracket lights and a roof. Responding to the light, it shows unique morphing between different geometries. One is the fern, biological swirl form, and the other is the roof, architectural triangular form. These traditional design motifs merge into the livable architecture.
Hiroyuki Futai, a qualified architect and a professor in Architectural Design, Musashino University, Tokyo, specializes in the theoretical and practical application of digital media in architectural design. EP3 is a design team directed by him at the school. The members are graduates and students of the school. They have been striving for experimental projects, focusing on temporary architecture, environmental design and media art since 2005. Their works have been exhibited at various design events and arts festivals both inside and outside of JAPAN, and received numerous awards in spatial design category.
