Project idea

A student pavilion inspired by the principle of a bird's nest, where a lightweight scaffold structure forms a load-bearing frame and container/fabric infill creates a protected interior space for student gathering and study on the Dejvice university campus in Prague.

Project description

The task was to design a pavilion for the Dejvice university campus that naturally integrates into the existing environment with old cherry trees. The concept derives from the principle of a bird's nest — a construction of branches forming a load-bearing structure with a soft lining creating a sheltered interior. This principle is translated into the design using a lightweight ringlock scaffolding system resembling tree branches, combined with shipping containers and fabric panels. The chosen materials excel in lightness, modularity, ease of assembly, and demountability. The modular system of ringlock scaffolding and standardized shipping container dimensions allows flexibility. The naturally appearing structure complements the character of the place.

Technical information

Materials include ringlock scaffolding (modular, quick assembly, demountable), fabric panels (shading, transparency, lightness), and shipping containers (facilities, mobility, durability). Floor plan at 1:500, section at 1:250, elevations at 1:500 and 1:250. Site plan at 1:1500, wider context at 1:3000.
