Cercles et rouille / Circles and rust par Mario Castonguay

Captés au pavillon MIL de l'université de Montréal

“The Interactive Circular Pattern Forming Pavilion”

To power the pavilion, Michael Jantzen installed a large, circular solar cell array in the center of the roof. Concentric composite cement rings radiate around the solar array, shading the space below. 

Physically echoing the Japanese garden is the small-grained white gravel filling the space between the center pavilion and the outer circular wall. As the footbridge, tube, and rod assembly rotate around the pavilion perimeter, various patterns can be imprinted onto the white gravel. 

Motif variations depend on the speed of rotation, the positions of the thirteen rods, and the back and forth movement of the entire assemblage. A blade attached to the front end of the footbridge continually smoothes out the previously formed patterns so that a nearly endless variety of new ones can be created.
