IDEA OF THE GROUP FOR PAVILION

· First Idea:

The group first proposed to use a trapezoid and a square as the base and top part of the pavilion and then twist the two shapes in order to create an edgy surface

Certain parts of the pavilion will have openings that will be covered with glass.

· Second Idea:

The group wanted to use curves but with the use of edgy planes and an opening for the top part of the pavilion

This concept was inspired from the first idea with the use of the same shapes a trapezoid and a square.

· Third Idea:

The group thought of using objects found in the SDA and incorporate it on the pavilion:

- Pencil: The pencil is the most used writing material used by students in the SDA.

- Mouse: The mouse has a sleek and clean look and represents innovation and technology within the SDA.

- Hands: The hand is an important part of the body that students use in order to make their ideas turn into reality.

The group then decided not to use objects but instead something where the students get all their ideas and creativity from. So, the group thought of using a heart or brain.

- Heart: The heart is what triggers the drive and inspiration of the students. It also shows how the students place their belief and hard work in their projects

- Brain: The brain is where all our ideas come from. It is the coordinating center and power source of everything we do.

The group then chose to use the brain as the concept for the pavilion.

BRAIN AND THE PAVILION

· Parts of the Brain to be integrated to the Pavilion

Spinal Cord

- Entrance of the pavilion from the street

- The spinal cord is what speeds messages to and from the brain

- Made of a bundle of nerves running up and down the spine

Frontal Lobe

- Ground floor with seats for socialization and a ramp with exhibits on the side of the wall

- Associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving

Thalamus

- The Second floor will have a Cafe in the morning, but at night the cafe will turn into a bar. The ramp will be found in the right with advertisements on the side, but can be change into an exhibit area if needed.

- Almost all sensory information enters this structure where neurons send that information to the overlying cortex

Hypothalamus

- The third floor will include a garden which is also open for people who want to smoke.

- People can also have shows or presentations in this area

- The structure is involved in functions including homeostasis, emotion, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous system

EXTERIOR OF THE PAVILION

· Inspiration:

- The facade of the pavilion will be shaped as neurons.

- Neurons look bundles of spider webs put together.

- Neurons are nerve cells that transmit nerve signals to and from the brain

INTERIOR OF THE PAVILION

· Ground Floor (Entrance)

- The entrance should look like nerves or veins all bundled up together

- Represented as the Spinal cord

· Ground Floor

- The ground floor is where students can pass through in order to get to the SDA building and they can also sit down on the seats and socialize with other students.
