ARCHERY PAVILLION

YEAR 1 - 2022/23

SITE - NO SITE

MODULE - SPACE, FORM AND STRUCTURE

This project began as an exercise in structural balance and minimal material use. The brief required creating an apparatus that held two apples 56cm away from the ground-contacting structure, using the least number of sticks possible. The resulting design was a triangular pyramid, stable yet delicate, anchored only at its base. This initial exploration of weight distribution, tension, and compression laid the foundation for the next phase: transforming the concept into an architectural pavilion. Inspired by the suspended and cantilevered qualities of the apple apparatus, I developed a lightweight archery pavilion that embraces openness and tension. The final design includes a simple yet functional shelter with a single integrated storage space, retaining the geometric clarity of the original pyramid. The form responds to the needs of archers, offering shade, spatial orientation, and a moment of pause while staying rooted in the principles of balance and purposeful structure.
