As part of UCL’s Meng Enginererign andArchitectural Design programme, students undertake a group pavilion project. Once completed, the students individually develop their pavilion, using new location and purpose. The new phase of the orject is called “The Next Iteration”. Presented here is my version of the Tensepeze, a pavilion created by my group focusing on tensegrity and structural interaction.
My version of the next iteration consists of a floating-hill like seating area made of flexible trinagular tiles, which cover 3 large anarobic digestor domes. The domes would allow for the collection of food waste for its conversion into biofuel and fertilizer. Fuel Filled Spaces, name of the project, aims to bring awareness to the population of the amount of waste generated in London (thanks to the shape of the seating area), as well as normalizing the local produciton of biofuels as a crucial step to reducing methane emissions. It is located in Potters Field, with iconic views of the old and new city merging.
