SOMBRA PAMPA (pavilion for Hello Wood Argentina 2017)

Sombra Pampa SOMBRA PAMPA is a shaded refuge in the vast openness of the Argentinean prairies with the quest to recreate the historic gallery as a shade and visual provider to contemplate during the tour or stay. A structure of interconnected porticos gives shape to the project starting from slats in radial distribution, with center at the height of the observer allowing the interaction with the outside in infinite ways, and generating textures through the section cuts of the wood and the slight rotation of the porticos.


Each portico consists of the following elements: the FRAME which is the main structure, the RAYS that are arranged radially, and the FLOOR made of leftovers, arranged in checkerboard. There are two types of porticos, differ from each other by the rotation of the rays, placed intercalated and screwed together to achieve solidity and stability together.
