Through the combination of simple materials, ROPE pavilion, creates a highly articulated form and space while nestling itself into the Assiniboine River Trail's Landscape. Its relationship of skin - manila rope and structure - birch frame, merge to form a warming hut whose dense shell blocks winter winds while still being perforated for light and views. The wood interior creates a sense of warmth through color and texture and it's multilayered rope exterior collects snow, further embedding it within the site. The hut's dome-like form is optimized for heat retention, bifurcating only for an entry threshold and oculus to the sky above. ROPE pavilion's simple, yet highly refined tectonics provides an enhanced visual and tactile experience to those traveling down the Assiniboine River Trail.
(Competitor's text)
An object that is sculptural and ambiguous in form. The project evokes many responses and thoughts on its meaning. The techtonics and material selection are highly resolved.
