G30 Summer Pavilion construction update

Published 2013年11月24日 by T—ADS

Here are some highlight images from yesterday’s constructions of our pavilion project. We are currently adjusting some components and installing furniture pieces inside. More images will be uploaded later once all is finished by the end of today.

Component Assembly Begins

Published 2013年11月19日 by T—ADS
Having recently completed the inflation of all stainless steel components, and the attaching of reinforcement plates to critical corners established through structural analysis simulations, the pavilion team has shifted gears to begin connecting the components to the tension cables we fabricated earlier in the month. This task has proved particularly challenging due to the bulk of the assembly and stiffness of the components and cables. Our goal is to have the attaching phase completed ahead of Obayashi’s visit to install the base ring element which connects the pavilion shell to the foundation.

On the other front, bench construction nears completion. In the coming days we will bring the modules outdoors in order to determine their fit against the physical conditions on site, then stain and seal the wood.
