the form of this two-person outdoor
pavilion is based on a study of structural
precedents and material properties. the
relevance of a column, arch-like openings,
and redundancy of units are the basis of
the structural system.

folded paper is used to create the
“teardrop, ” the structural module for
this pavilion. the redundancy of
modules generates a gradient that is
self-standing and interconnects each
unit with circular joints. moments of
tension mostly occur in the top portion
of the central column, responsible for
supporting most of the weight.
