Pulse Pavilion
YEAR
2013
Designed and built by University of St Joseph (Macau) third-year undergraduate architecture students, led by guest professors Kristof Crolla (LEAD) and Dannes Kok, the Pulse Pavilion is a temporary structure that stands at Plaza Sai Van, adjacent to Macau Tower, from 1–10 June 2013. It is an inhabitable sculpture, a parametrically generated organic lattice structure created from split bamboo rods, interwoven with fabric panels, and featuring an interactive LED lighting system. In addition to a range of spectacular pre-programmed lightshows, the bamboo lattice is lined with motion sensors that cause the LED lights to change in color and intensity as people move around and through the pavilion.
The students designed the pavilion using an array of digital and physical models. For the actual construction, they were assisted by local craftsmen with expertise in bamboo structures. As a combination of advanced parametric software techniques with traditional construction methods and materials, the pavilion is intended to reinvigorate and extend the local Macau building culture. At the same time, it responds to the local casino culture of iconic architectural forms and dynamic lighting effects that define Macau’s contemporary visual identity.Design: Third- and fourth-year undergraduate architecture students from the University of St Joseph, led by guest professors Kristof Crolla and Dannes Kok.Students: Luis Antunes, Miguel Santos Augusto, Anna Baturkina, Chan Wai Hou, Chris Chang, Kelvin Cheang, James Cheung, Benny Chu, Rolan Franco, Gabriel Marques, Ronald Lam, Nestor San Valentin, Rico Tam, Francisco Tam Silveirinha, Sophia Yuen
