Final visual, elevation and plan.

This shows how the design can adapt to existing spaces.

The main feature of my design are the multi functional  storage units. Primarily these will be used for structure and storage of the materials. Other functions include: Dividing spaces - sliding doors between to create private areas Exhibition space Place to work - fold out desks and chairs

My proposal for the materials lab was to create an open versatile space that can be used in a variety of ways by a range of people. The main focus of my design was the method of displaying the materials and how people will use the space. Within my design I wanted to include spaces for the material lab, exhibition, seminars, workshops and places for people to work individually and within groups. The whole space should also allow for socializing and networking. I aimed to create a pavilion that can pop up in different areas of the country. I also aimed to make a design that can be adapted to work within existing spaces such as empty shop units. The first diagram shows how I will proportion the space I design, highlighting the key areas I want to include. I aim to create a plan that is flowing and allows all these different functions to take place harmoniously. An integral part of my proposal is designing the structure of the pavilion to also serve as the method of storing and displaying materials. I have designed a unit that is strong enough to be the main structure of the pavilion but is also able to adapt to house the wide range of materials that would be showcased in the lab (image 3). The main frame of the structural elements will be made from square hollow steel due to its strength ease of construction and availability. Then plywood would be used to create storage elements such as drawers and shelving, or to block off areas of the frame to display work.
