Chile Pavilion - Against The Tide

Graduate students as part of their final year project engage with their local community to identify spatial programmes that could invigorate their environment through the creation of a usable facility, such as a shelter/play area etc.

Using locally sourced materials and working with their communities, these students have then helped create some very these structures using various techniques as part of their design project.

Some of these have the potential to be reproduced in adaptable, modular formats allowing for quick construction by the local communities as required.

How can we explore structure as building and incorporate elements into our design?
