Dragon Skin Pavilion
by Crolla K., Delagrange S., Keskisarja E. and Tynkkynen P.
ABSTRACT | The Dragon Skin Pavilion is an architectural art installation that challenges and explores the spatial, tactile, and material possibilities architecture is offered today by revolutions in digital fabrication and manufacturing technology. The pavilion, built in the winter of 2012, is a study on how architects can reassert control over parts of the construction process previously surrendered to manufacturers and contractors, and how this enables them to materialise discoveries from the digital into the built environment.
