Bad Project

A very bad project

Maiyl Group

The pavilion design was influenced by the local climate and sun path. It provides a shaded environment for the majority of the day, throughout the year by considering the path of the sun and constructing an active filtering.   

The pavilion is located on the center-northern plot of the complex. The southern side of the plot is the sunniest most of the day and faces the center. This side was left open allowing an unobstructed connection to the other pavilions. The sun is partially blocked by the roof, the eastern and the western walls.

Sun path checks:

Bamboo beam and brick column joint

The bamboo used to construct the walls was placed vertical to block the sun. In the western wall the bamboo is more dense in consideration of the position of the sun and the time of day that the pavilion is occupied

The roof is designed as an separated element detached from the main structure and in resonance with the existing environment

The platform is raised 40 cm above the ground offering protection from the Monsoon flood and creating an exterior sitting area

The "Best bad project" exercise / Yotam Yered

in this execise we were asked to plan the worst project we can, in order to see what is bad architecture in our eyes.

First, i looked at some of the structures in the farm and got to the decision to plan the building that would be as different as possible from the other farm structures.

The water tower : strange the the surrounding by its height, its material (concrete), and its unproportion  skale.
