Network: The Social Scaffold

NETWORK aims to collate the processes involved in designing a pavillion-like structure that create a space in which people feel simultaneously surrounded by, and completely detached from, the digital and physical connections of the world around them. This study was born out of the ashes of crumpled up and burnt drawings depicting conceptual thoughts around the experience of inhabiting Wellington’s Civic Square. As the influence of the Square itself loses momentum, the transient nature of the invisible webs connecting people to place come to the foreground. Illustrations, diagrams and dreams come together to debate the place for concrete and consience in our interconnected city. As NETWORK focuses on digital and physical connectivity across the land, both physical and digital technologies have been explored and exploited, and ultimately woven into the formal iterative process to produce a pavillion worth listening to.
