Further conversations between the seminar groups and the staff and board at
rare brought some changes to the design imperatives; these are reflected in the work of the second master's seminar group.
The pavilion was lifted off the ground and storage was incorporated; an impermeable roof was added. Alongside these changes came a formal evolution. The slatted structure and notion of a changing section remained, but the structure was broken into two interweaving elements: a rectilinear frame, and an articulated frame inserted into it like clasped fingers. (Apart from a few small changes, the finished pavilion will look a lot like these perspectives.)
This seminar class also considered details and engineering, and produced preliminary working drawings and a project budget.
You can best understand the pavilion from its cross-section (above). A plan and some details follow.
A list of seminar participants can be found in the "Pavilion Team" description in the right sidebar.
