EmTech + ETH Pavillion Study

With a goal to intimately learn and Replicate the 'EmTech + ETH Zurich Wood Pavillion', we comprehensively and systematically explored the principles of it's construction and fabrication. This research focused on understanding the physics of kerf cuts in wood and the tensile strength of steel chords, 2 essential elements in the pavilion's innovative design.

The use of 3D animations were integral to our comprehension of the project. We tested the structures tensile ability to endure load by simulating its' physics.It also allowed us to observe the model in motion, through all angles and move it freely.
