THE TIME MACHINEThere is no Renaissance without past.
The Renaissance Pavilion is a machine to look back and forth , to experience the identity of the Yorkshire through a double space, capable to offer at the same time a view to the past and project to the future.
In an architectural environment which in the last decade sees a compulsive exploitation of image and form, the Renaissance pavilion wills to talk with simplicity and synthesis.
A symbol for a region represented by an apparently simple object, which reveals its complexity by crossing and experiencing it.
The Time Machine hosts simultaneously two spaces: two different happenings, two atmospheres, where the history and tradition of the region can meet the ambitions and innovation on the future. Two rooms for different opportunities, where young and older generations can meet, where past and new economies can share the same will to grow, where tradition can be preserved and become power.
We imagine the two spaces as counterparts of each other. Two opposite spaces capable to provide all needs to the people from the Yorkshire.
The sense of belonging should reflect the wishes of all generations.
The time machine will be an event by itself. Portraying past with contemporary eyes and looking to the future without forgetting the past
The construction of the pavilion is based on the assemblage of 20 self supporting sections 10m x 10m and 1.2m thick.
Each section is composed by superimposed layers of plywood and float glass. They are assembled with a two-component silicon glue.
The construction follows this process: the sections of single material layers (float glass layer 19 mm, plywood layer 12 mm) are pre assembled on base of the design. They build this way the 20 demountable sandwich sections. Each single section is composed by two mirrored portions of 5m by 10m.
These are carried and assembled on site.
The transportation and site process is reduced to a minimum. The whole pavilion is reduced to 40 pieces.
Following these process, the pavilion is reduced in pieces that can be stored in standard 40 foot shipping containers.
The sections present an internal cross section, variable according to the tapering of the interior ellipses. The internal geometry in fact is based on a variable pseudo elliptical section, which changes on one axe keeping the other constant.
The variation happens on both sides of the parallelepiped volume.
The result is the creation of two opposite internal elliptical conical voids.
The pavilion in its standard position offers two opposite spaces. The one below with a flat floor and a variable barrel dome section is directly connected to the outside. It is flexible for different happenings like cocktail parties, fairs, meetings, conferences, exhibitions, auctions. The other room is basically the same as the first one, but turned upside-down. This way, the variable barrel dome becomes floor, offering a usable seating system for a theatre-conference space. Here cinema projections, gigs and different performances can take place. Projections can happen on a panel placed on the entrance hole.
The pavilion can be rotated on one side. In this new position, the interior spaces become “cave-shaped” each one open on one short side of the volume. Internally the variable ellipses can host exhibitions, catwalks, art performances.
The floor plan, as defined, is 240 sqm, considering that in its standard position the pavilion offers two floors. With an average usable floor area of 156 sqm per floor, we reach a total usable surface of 312 sqm. The pavilion offers spaces protected by rain, open to the outside. The integration of the landscape and the relationship with the external context is all times preserved, though we do imagine that the lover floor on ground level could be enclosed to offer a conventional internal working space. This would be possible by the addiction of a glass façade on one of the short sides of the pavilion.
The “Time machine” represents as well an innovative construction experiment which by itself pursues the relevance of the pavilion as a model for contemporary sustainable architecture; The reduction of constructive materials to float glass and plywood guarantees at the same time structural strength (plywood is a well known structural material because of the its resistance to cracking, shrinkage, twisting/warping) as well as non toxic properties and the possibility to be reused after the 10 years life of the pavilion. Further, the natural and controlled production of the elements contributes to enhance the sustainability of construction, still guaranteing an affordable production price. We believe that the operation costs of the pavilion will be drastically reduced by simple site assemblage of ready preconstituted elements.
