Materializing Design

Fabrication of a pavilion with curved morphology made of interlocking parts. Designed by 12 MIT students through an online collaborative work platform, this experiment aims to automatize building delivery, from concept to construction. The pavilion components, plywood and plastic, are cut with C.N.C. machines and assembled by hand with rubber mallets. Every piece of the structure snap fits and no hardware are used in the construction. The 30 sheets of plywood used for the structure were cut in 15 hours, with a ¼” flat edge drill bit and a unit processing time of 20 minutes each. The pavilion was assembled in 12 hours.
