A huge ribcage-like structure cradles the angular corrugated steel and plastic body of this pavilion designed by Dutch architect Frank Havermans to host a series of summer events (+ slideshow).
Havermans designed and built the pavilion named KAPKAR/ SF – P7S as a temporary venue for the arts organisation Stichting Fabrikaat.
Located in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, the pavilion is hosting a summer-long series of exhibitions, lectures and cultural events focused on alternative ways of building and living.
It is built on a site overlooking a channel recently added to the Waal river, which led to the demolition of a number of the area's farmhouses and sheds.
Havermans在展馆的设计中参照了被拆除房屋的传统木桁架结构和人字形屋顶。
角胶合板材料包裹了尖角的外壳,壳体由波纹钢屋顶和透明塑料面构成,让足够的光线进入。
Havermans references the traditional wooden-truss frame and gabled roofs of these lost residences in the pavilion.
Angular plywood arms wraps a sharp-angled shell comprising a corrugated steel roof and clear plastic sides that allow plenty of light to enter.
"By charging this construction with several elements from classic farmhouse typology in combination with simple low budget materials I created an experimental hybrid construction," said Havermans.
"This pavilion references the architectural heritage and also has a futuristic appearance in the landscape," he added.
胶合板桁架作为建筑的外表面,Havermans在其表面涂了黑色的橡胶作为保护层。
桁架中有6根是成对平行安装的,构成了展馆的边缘。而第七个桁架弯折成直角,形成了结构的一端。
The plywood trusses are expressed on the outside of the building, so Havermans coated them in black rubber as a protective measure against the elements.
Six of the trusses are positioned in parallel pairs to create the sides of the pavilion, while a seventh is turned at right angles to form one end of the structure.
在内部,桁架涂成红色,弯折打开,形成一个小凹室,为游客提供座位。
波纹塑料和平台上的金属座位覆盖了深灰色粗锯的木板。
Inside, the trusses are painted red and folded open, creating small alcoves for visitors to sit within.
The corrugated plastic and metal upper sits on top of platform covered in rough-sawn douglas wood boards.
基础的边缘有一个台阶,在内部和外部都形成了长椅座位。
展馆是分段建设的,便于拆卸和在其他地方重新组装。
The base has a step around its edge that forms bench seating on both the exterior and interior. The metal framework supporting the structure can be seen beneath the wooden seats outside.
The pavilion was built in segments so that it can easily be taken apart and reassembled elsewhere.
When the events series ends later this month, the pavilion will move to another location and be used as Stichting Fabrikaat's headquarters in Nijmegen.
The pavilion is the latest in a series of fantastical structures designed by Frank Havermans including a bright red tower resembling the head and neck of a monster and a sunken concrete structure built by a stream in the Netherlands.
