Model Art Pavilion

FROM THE ARCHITECTS:

Gluckman Tang, an architecture firm with its roots in spaces for art, launched the Model Art Pavilion (MAP) at Design Miami’s Private Collectors’ Lounge. The modular structure is part of the “Revolution” collection, a series of limited-edition prefabricated pavilions and homes conceived by design and real estate developer Robbie Antonio in exclusive collaboration with more than thirty of the world’s preeminent architects, artists, and designers.

“Our partnership with Gluckman Tang reflects a shared commitment to fostering the creation and appreciation of art around the world,” said Robbie Antonio. “Gluckman Tang are artists in their own right, so it’s entirely appropriate that their Model Art Pavilion should be leading the Revolution collection.”

The 156-square-foot. (19 ft. x 8.2 ft. x 10.5 ft. high) structure is made of basic materials: lacquered solid wood, plywood, and translucent polycarbonate, and comfortably accommodates several paintings or sculptures and a small group of people. The interior is a clean white box, while the exterior is available in a range of typical shipping container colors. Slots at the edges of the space introduce reflected, diffuse daylight; access is through a sliding door.

“The Model Art Pavilion is a simple, elegant structure to experience art in any location – from a beach to a roof deck to a global art fair,” said Richard Gluckman, FAIA. “Designing the pavilion gave us the opportunity to create a structure that serves as a sculptural object and as a frame for the dynamic presentation of art.”

Like all of Gluckman Tang’s spaces for art, such as the Museo Picasso Málaga and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, this compact pavilion elegantly mediates the relationship between the site, the participant, and the art object. Designed as a frame within a frame – the two holding each other in a structural fold – the pavilion simultaneously provides views in to the art and out to the landscape.

The potential uses of the MAP extend beyond the art world. The pre-crafted shelter can also be used as an intimate music room, meditation space, or work studio.

The pavilions will be produced in a limited edition of ten priced at $120,000 each.

In Miami, Zaha Hadid presents prefabricated dining pavilion

by Mari Bruno, casa.com.br

In the search for transportable, accessible and collectible structures, the focus of the REVOLUTION project , award-winning Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid created a dining pavilion for the first piece in the series of pavilions and prefabricated houses.

Zaha Hadid’s ‘Volu’ Pavilion holds up to 10 people.

Presented at this year’s Design Miami, the Volu pavilion impresses with its technological and metallic structure, with hollow details and wooden furniture. Concept by the architect in partnership with Patrick Schumacher, the piece resembles a semi-open shell, with a platform floor, floor and column. In total, they are 6 meters high and 20 m2 in total, which house three curved benches and a round table.

“Defined by sophisticated digital processes, the structure has been developed in such a way that its components are, at best, singly curved. The innovations were computer-programmed to integrate manufacturing constraints into the design while allowing engineering feedback in an interactive delivery process”, explains the REVOLUTION website, which underscores that the topology of the dining pavilion was designed to remove unnecessary materials and recreate principles found in nature.

Structured like a metallic shell, the pavilion has a floor and ceiling connected by a hollow column.

Inside the Volu, the wooden furniture holds up to 10 people.

Watch Zaha Hadid’s Dining Pavilion Come Into Fruition

by Shiela Kim, Architizer

Design Miami/ kicks off its 2015 edition today with, as always, a rather impressive list of headliners from all of those spheres. Some of them will be part of the Revolution Project, a showcase of limited-edition prefabricated pavilions and homes and the brainchild of real-estate developer Robbie Antonio.

https://vimeo.com/148472835

Among Revolution’s highlights, architect Zaha Hadid designed the clamshell-evoking Volu dining pavilion in collaboration with Patrik Schumacher, a partner at her eponymous firm. True to form, they conceived an amalgam of fluidity and flow, organic forms, geometry, and high-tech edginess, all of which contribute to a sort of futuristic style.

The structure resembles a network of bands that connect around cellular voids — beginning in the floor, then gathering into a vertical, spine-like stem that grows upward before folding once more to form a cantilevering canopy. Louvers fill the roof’s apertures, while solid panels fill the floor’s 35 hollows.

Completing the look, bespoke furnishings also designed by the pair sport the signature aesthetic of Hadid’s other pieces that eschew exposed joints for fluid curves.

If you’re in Miami for the festivities, see Volu in person at the Collectors Lounge (19th Street and Meridian Avenue) now through December 6.

Zaha hadid launches prefabricated dining pavilion at design miami

by Philip Stevens, Design Boom

the first in a series of limited edition pre-crafted pavilions and homes launches at design miami/ 2015. conceived by design and real estate developer robbie antonio, the revolution precrafted project unites more than 30 of the world’s preeminent architects, artists, and designers to create a series of technologically advanced yet cost-efficient living spaces.

named ‘volu’, zaha hadid’s contribution to the collection is a contemporary dining pavilion. the structure presents a bold silhouette, forming a typical fusion of design, lightweight engineering, and precision fabrication. containing bespoke furniture, the design continues a rational, geometric production by embedding the tectonics of manufacture within the form itself.

defined by sophisticated digital processes, the pavilion has been developed in such a way that its components are, at most, singly curved. such innovations were computer programmed to integrate fabrication constraints into the design, while enabling engineering feedback in an iterative delivery process. consequently, this allows for comprehensive design development of complex and expressive forms through the bending of flat sheet materials.

comprised of a series of structural bands collecting at the spine and expanding overhead, the patterning of the pavilion is guided by the varied structural loading conditions. through analysis of the geometry under load, the pavilion’s topology is digitally optimized to remove unnecessary material, resulting in the lightest possible design solution — an organic structural logic that recreates the many of the same principles found in nature.

Zaha Hadid for Revolution

Revolution developed and intoruduced by real estate developer Robbie Antonio– ”revolution” is a collection of limited edition, pre-crafted properties, including homes and pavilions. The project unites over 30 of the world’s preeminent architects, artists and designers to create an exclusive series of prefabricated, livable spaces. With a network of cutting-edge technologies and cost-efficient production systems, Revolution is democratizing high-design and architecture by introducing designed spaces in exclusive collaboration with industry leading creatives. The first series of pre-fabricated pavilions have been launched including Zaha Hadid- Volu, Daniel Libeskind- The ReCreation Pavilion, Kengo Kuma-The Aluminum Cloud Pavilion, Sou Fujimoto- The Infinity Ring Pavilion, Ben Van Berkel- The Ellipsicoon Retreat Pavilion and other designers’ contemporary pavilions as well.

The core appeal of prefabricated structures is the freedom from location and construction constraints; however, the result is often monotonous, homogenous design. Revolution Precrafted Properties reinvent this model by creating unique, high-design spaces that transcend geographic borders and excite the senses. Revolution Precrafted Properties includes an exclusive group of the world’s leading architects, artists, and designers who collectively pursue the desire to make high-design attainable for everyone including; Ben Van Berkel, Sou Fujimoto, Zaha Hadid, SelgasCano, Kengo Kuma, Tom Dixon and many more and more collaborators to be announced in 2016.

The name of Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher’s design is ”Volu” that will take place at Design Miami 2015 as the first series of these pre-fabricated pavilions. Hadid & Schumacher design is a fusion of design, lightweight engineering, and precision fabrication. It is a result of tight integration of computer-aided design, engineering and manufacturing. The strong silhouette of the pavilion, along with the careful coordination of features, materials, and colours is complemented by the bespoke design of the furniture. The design continues a rational, geometric production by embedding the tectonics of manufacture within the form itself. Design Miami 2015 will be held between December 2-6, 2015 at Meridian Avenue.

The distinctive design solution is driven by integrating computational geometry, analysis, optimisation, and fabrication.

Defined by sophisticated digital processes, the structure has been developed in such a way that its components are, at most, singly curved. Innovations including planar forming were computer programmed to integrate fabrication constraints into the design while enabling engineering feedback in an iterative delivery process.

This allows for comprehensive design development of complex and expressive form through the bending of flat sheet materials – a relatively simple process which produces very little material waste. This feature of the design assures the physical reproduction of the design from stock, flat, sheet material. The standardised material is bent into their final shapes taking advantage of ubiquitous manufacturing, cutting techniques enabling the fluid structural form with efficient production methods.

Comprised of a series of structural bands collecting at the spine and expanding overhead, the patterning of the pavilion’s structure and shade structures are guided by the varied structural loading conditions. Through analysis of the geometry under load, the pavilion’s topology is digitally re-crafted and optimised to remove unnecessary material, resulting in the lightest possible design solution. Unsurprisingly, this organic structural logic recreates the very same principles found in nature. It is presented in the limited edition.
