London Olympics Info Pavilion
Roundel
Pavilion by VONSUNG
From the 1918 red, white and blue
roundel symbol, to the 1933 underground train map, and the 1956 Routemaster
bus, many of the most familiar design icons of Britain belong to London
Transport in the first half of the 20th century.
We pay tribute to the red, white and
blue roundel symbol designed by Edward Johnston which symbolises the whole of
London, not just its transport system. The same can be said for the
diagrammatic London Underground map devised by Harry Beck in the early 1930s,
which has since been imitated all over the world as a model of modern map
design.
The Pavilion’s circle is a symbol of
unity, a meaning that transcends cultures, borders, and languages. It is a
universal epitome of cultural, spiritual and sporting (i.e. Olympics) rituals
and depictions. It also represents a cycle, a never-ending journey in the faith
of world peace. The circle offers a place for introspection, a space for visitors
to look back upon their journey, before carrying on to their final destination
to the Olympics venues.
This project aims to provide the
historical route for the visitors as well as establishing a clear demarcation for
the 2012 Olympics Information Pavilion in Trafalgar Square. Based on a
systematic vision the project becomes a sustainable site with different layers
of meaning. The masterplan is to create a space whose art is as much in
the light of space and objects as it is in the spaces created in the pavilion’s
crater. The Pavilion’s open air offers perceptions and interactions with the
space and the ever-changing nature of light created by the light of the sun,
moon, stars and other celestial events that will drive the pavilion. Much like
other civilizations throughout history that have built large structures that
embody knowledge - scientific, cultural and spiritual.
As our brief shifts toward tourism, for
which the Roundel Pavilion is the resource, one of the many new issues for
design across London is to compose a highly-efficient information architecture
for large-scale event such as the 2012 Olympics. This series of our work
represents the beginning of this process.
