Project idea

The idea of this project is inspired by cosmic energy fields and the continuous motion found in the universe. The pavilion explores the relationship between movement, balance, and spatial experience through a dynamic spiral form that reflects the flow of galaxies and energy waves. The design aims to create an immersive architectural landmark that symbolizes harmony between science, nature, and art while offering visitors a unique visual and spatial experience.

Project description

The project is a conceptual pavilion called "Cosmic Motion Pavilion" located in Japan. The pavilion is designed using a modular system composed of repeated units arranged in varying sizes and orientations to generate a flowing spiral structure. The design creates a central focal space surrounded by dynamic circulation paths, allowing visitors to experience the sense of movement and transformation inspired by cosmic phenomena. The pavilion serves as an exhibition and contemplation space where architecture and motion merge into a single experience.

Technical information

The pavilion is based on a modular structural system consisting of repeated parametric elements arranged in a spiral configuration. The physical model was constructed using Canson paper and stencil materials, while the proposed real structure utilizes CNC-cut plywood or laminated timber elements combined with translucent polycarbonate panels. The design emphasizes lightweight construction, visual permeability, and structural efficiency while creating a dynamic architectural form inspired by the geometry of galaxies and cosmic energy fields.
