Thicket Pavilion Study 2.0

The pavilion actually continues an idea first explored in the Thicket installation created for the "How Soon Is Now" exhibition last year at Judin Gallery in Berlin. There the architects filled part of a gallery with the stainless steel bundles to create a labyrinth for getting lost – or lost to a small degree, given the transparency of the construction.

Based on the structural innovations of R. Buckminster Fuller and Konrad Wachsmann, the bundles in both Thicket pavilions are self-supporting, with version 2.0 accentuating this fact in its support of a wood ceiling. The architects contend that this construction could be executed with whatever local materials are readily available, be it steel, bamboo, wood, or even paper.
