Circulation Diagrams

​
For the material I choose, I put grave on the ground in this shape to suggest the entry ways to the pavilion, and timber is a great material for people to make contact with.
​
Different sides of the pavilion is exposed to the public to different levels, the western side is orientated towards NGV and St Kilda Road where there are more people, while the eastern side is a lot more quite because it is orientated towards gardens, people are more likely to stay in the space that is less exposed.
The shadow study shows how the shadow changes during a day, and people are more likely to stay in the area with shades.
​
​
The pausing areas such as seats directly influence how long people would like to stay in different spaces.

The shadow is also a factor that influence the privacy level of spaces because darker spaces is more private than the others.
​
​
Like mentioned in the circulation diagrams, the surrounding area of different sides to the pavilion have different exposure levels, in other words, different level of privacy. I want to break the visual connection from the busy St Kilda Road to give the inner space more privacy and at the same time open the view towards the beautiful gardens.
​
People in the pavilion can see through the blades to the sunken stage, while people in the sunken stage cannot see through the glazed glass to protect the privacy of people in the pavilion.
​
I controlled the rotation and thickness of the blades, the ones on the west that face St Kilda road have smaller openings in between and also thicker than the other side which helps to block the visual connect, while the other side has larger openings and thinner to provide people with garden views.
