Broad street pavillion

This project presents a public space pavilion situated in the heart of Oxford's city centre. The brief of the project was presented as a solution-ary piece of architecture, in response to loneliness reported in large numbers of students due to Covid-19.

The pavilion is composed of a a set of tiered seating/stepping structures that are repeating to form an undulating form. 

The structure creates places for people and strangers to meet within an architecture that encourages it. 

Within the structure, a barista shop is hidden, which provides a medium again to encourage meeting new people through the social act of sharing a coffee.

In a test to express techniques of representation, this perspective sectional-cut view of the coffee-shop and structure was asked to be communicated through the style of artist Lucy Skaer, and architects SANAA. 

To achieve this, the drawing was inhabited and detailed to the stylistic decisions seen in representation from SANAA architects. 

Following this, the image was then screen-printed onto canvas, following an investigation into some of Skaer's early-career work with screen-printing.

The following images show this process being carried out at a local screen-printing studio.
