M Pavilion 2021 Sun Shade/Sail (2021 DA Entry 1857)

APPLICATION OF PROJECT:

The project started out as a functional brief to provide a demountable structure for the M Pavilion 2021 installation.  The catch with the project is that everything has been fully completed and launched on 1st December 2021.  M Pavilion and their designers (MAP Studio / AECOM) had not resolved this functional issue.  M Pavilion needed a shade roof as well as one for light rain (during the summer month)

DESIGN / FABRICATION / INSTALLATION BRIEF

The transparency and lightness of both form, material and detailing were paramount guiding the design as the shade is only 3m above ground.  Transparency is needed so that the structure does not take away from the M Pavilion installation itself.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

Use of sailcloth and sail rigging equipment (in the form of snatch blocks and shackles) provided the light finish and transparency and lightness that was necessary to execute this project.

MATERIALS

Sailcoth and stainless steel Ronstan rigging equipment.

FABRICATION

All material were sewn together to provide the light texture of the structure

COLLABORATION, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

Team effort with AECOM (Main building engineer), Client (M Pavilion) and 3D Inflate to design, fabricate and install between December 2021– January 2022

COSTS                     AUD$ 20,000
