The project was conceived by two farmers that wanted to bring art back to their community by hosting musical performances. The 13 member student team focused on the design and fabrication of a pavilion by understanding the performative characteristics of the farm. The team walked the fields cataloging behaviors and conceived of a structure that could negotiate the flirtatious relationship between the land and performance. A form-finding exercise produced a surface derived from the recorded site behaviors, that was performing both as shelter and structure. A surface and terrain team formed, the surface (stainless steel), and terrain (wood). The stainless steel surface was panelized into (4) repetitive panel types and prepared for fabrication by producing printed working templates from a rhino model. All 56 metal panels were sheared, bent, drilled and cut by the team members, and hand assembled into 6 frames. The final pavilion location was parametrically derived based on the site lines to and from the farmhouse. The project was completed in 7 days, and first performance was held under the silver screen the night it was completed.
