Cairo Pattern Pavilion

Temporary Pavilion for Bank in London

The project essentially deals with the panelization of volumes through the intricacies of the cairo tiling pattern. The cell-like structure is conceived as ideal for the structural modules that will then hold the weaved threads. The threads, through their patterning, compose the second system. The Cairo Tiling is distinguished for its specific pattern of pentagons that when assembled in pairs of four generate a hexagonal perimeter. Another way of understanding the Cairo pattern is as a voronoi structure/pattern that emerges through a particular placement of center points.
