About the Project
The proposal for a public temporary pavilion for the International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño, Spain. The pavilion is assembled without implementing fasteners, keeping components connected using friction, decreasing the potential carbon footprint. The structure consists entirely of wood without metal joints, which makes the pavilion fully recyclable and sustainable.
Materials
Two components, one system.
The structure consists of 2 types of components, rectangular shape and crescent shape, intersecting toughly together they form the structural network. The global pattern changes having the majority of the crescent components on one side to gradually replacing them with the rectangular type. The first cross-type makes the pattern transparent, letting the person see through the structure. The gradation between elements makes the smooth transition from the see-through type to the almost opaque appearance of the facade.

Mode of Realisation
Prefabricated. Assembled. Disassembled.
The proposed facade system is a structure designed to be assembled from a series of discrete elements. These elements are prefabricated with CNC and can be easily interconnected. The use of discrete elements is an efficient and cost-effective way to create temporary architecture, as the individual elements can be easily transported and assembled without the need for complex construction techniques. It allows for a high degree of flexibility and customization in the design of the facade, as well as ease of construction and disassembly. Therefore the system lets the adaptation of the proposal to have the structure only as a facade or only in the courtyard, according to different limitations of the festival.
