London Energy Pavilion Architect: Amir Armani Asl, Khashayar Mohammadi Location: London, United Kingdom Date: 2015 Area: 80 sqm Status: Competition Proposal / Triumph Mention Client: ArchTriumph Design Associate: Reza Pooladvand Performative Twist Box Energy can be defined and analyzed in different ways. However, it was tried to define the energy with an abstract view in this project. Energy is known to everyone given its usual encounter in everyday life. Walking, running, talking, playing and every other moment of life is a continuous stream of the energy conversion and consumption. Therefore, it can be concluded that human is a symbol of energy itself. It is important to know how the energy can appear in an architectural space, especially a pavilion. A pavilion located in a lively place beside the childhood Museum with audiences familiar with various annual events that take every opportunity to walk, run, play and generally enjoy the environment and consume energy. How the pavilion can be a symbol of energy? Simply, by “People”. The more people run, play, sit, relax, come together to make a change and explore the space, the more energy will be released to the space; the more the people, the more the activity, the more the energy. Therefore, it was tried to design the space so that to attract as much audiences as possible and provide a suitable environment to encourage them for more activity and exploration. Therefore, the pavilion is completely like a layered cube form from the outside with some embedded spaces to be explored by the audience. Layered form of the pavilion is considered for the readability purposes to provide an outside to inside view and vice versa. Entrance to the inside space can be a symbol of energy. Pavilion entrances were designed to be dynamic and were created by moving the cube body. They were located on four sides of the cube and created eight different modes of entry and unlimited varied forms.
