Architectural Model: The Dragonfly Pavilion

​

Exterior Event pavilion add on for Lolas' Coffee Shop. This add on would provide event space for small bands, bridal and baby showers, and outdoor parties. Biomorphic form of a dragonfly wing, made with Perlite Cement, Hemp Rebar, and Earthen plaster. The shape of the roof and floor mimic each other and are symmetrical. The plaster creates a lived in effect and gives a Mediterranean feel complementary to the interior design of Lolas'. The structure is lightweight and 60% less weight than traditional plaster. Hemp rebar material is more effective at taking carbon from the atmosphere than trees. This sustainable structure is a large scale formation that provides natural heating and cooling from its form and provides a beautiful location for events. The architecture is complex in its design however uses minimal off-cuts in the construction, decreasing waste.
