THE EPHIMERAL ARCHES PAVILLION

Curve folding, an innovative evolution of traditional origami, extends folding principles to complex, non-linear geometries. Unlike conventional methods that rely on straight creases and flat surfaces, curve folding utilizes smooth, flowing folds to create dynamic, three-dimensional forms with unique structural and aesthetic properties. In this exploration, I applied the principles of curve folding to develop ephemeral arches—a pavilion concept that embodies dynamic visual quality. The pavilion leverages the fluidity of curved folds to generate a design that is  visually engaging, reflecting principles of form, movement, and spatial interaction. By merging advanced design methods with ephemeral architecture, the arches create a fleeting yet impactful spatial experience.
