MODULAR PAVILION

This project was designed for a school, addressing the need to provide shade and multifunctional spaces where students can play and carry out their activities. As a solution, a modular pavilion was created as an economical, replicable, and detachable structure.

The proposal consists of towers made from recycled scaffolding, anchored to the existing slab, with trusses covered in fabric suspended above them. These towers and trusses vary in orientation, allowing for rainwater drainage while adding dynamism to the space. Inside some scaffolding towers, tables were incorporated for students to have their meals, while others feature hammocks for relaxation and leisure. The structure was carefully modulated according to standard scaffolding dimensions and metal tube spacing, optimizing materials and costs. As a result, the pavilion is practical, functional, and adaptable, ensuring an efficient and scalable solution for the school.
