The pavilion draws inspiration from water’s erosive power, shaping space through subtractive design that mimics ravines and carved channels. Its envelope features modular, slip-cast clay units with doubly curved surfaces, reflecting the fluidity and tactility of water. Each module is engineered with four controlled edge curvatures, enabling seamless aggregation via edge-matching logic. Mounted on a ventilated timber substructure, these clay modules form a continuous, dynamic surface. Cross-laminated timber walls provide structural support. By integrating material performance, modular repetition, and water-inspired geometry, the pavilion becomes an architectural expression of water’s presence, behavior, and memory within the landscape.
