This pavilion was the final project for the course of design optioneering at Politecnico di Milano.
This pavilion's design location is Hong-kong. It roots back to the Chinese traditions and culture while giving a perspective to the future. The pavilion is composed of two tubes skinned by a discrete set of octagonal-shaped wooden units that are extended from each end. The tubes are arranged around a centre point leaving it as the heart and core of the pavilion. The 2 tubes llow visitors to enter inside. The tubes are perforated by small circles, which in froup form specific shapes of the oriental culture. The journey of entering the pavilion can be imagined on several dimensions. These dimensions may vary from one person to another. For instance, the tubes would represnt the suffering of the hong-kongers that spend a large portion of their daily comute through tubes, even when it comes to pedestrians. Meanwhile, crawling inside the tube may indicate the nostalgia of the child in each adult, a message to the soul to release stress. Following the path leads to an increase in slope (in the top middle) then going back down. The final lit exit in the end represents the final hope in a better future for everyone suffering in this world
