Our brief outlines the design of a flexible public use pavilion. This design brief invites visionary architects and designers to create a remarkable and sustainable public use pavilion within an abandoned quarry of your choice. The objective is to craft an organic, biophilic architectural masterpiece that seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape while serving as a multifunctional space for various public activities. The design should prioritise sustainability, biomimicry, and innovative construction methods. If you are taking part in our other Quarry competitions, your proposals can be combined to create one large proposal. An abandoned quarry provides a dramatic and unique setting that offers immense potential for transformation into a versatile natural space, with opportunities for public use. The design should consider the quarry's history and surroundings while providing a captivating architectural aesthetic. Your design should be taken from the surrounding nature producing an organic architectural response that mimics the natural world. The pavilion should be an inspired creative response to the natural biological architecture that surrounds us, such as the infamous works by Antoni Gaudí, drawing from natural elements such as bones, leaves and trees. We are looking for a unique and innovative design using specialist construction technologies such as sustainable, biodegradable 3D printing, sculpting of living materials and steam bending wood. This should set an example for public architecture exhibiting sustainable, resource conserving design and providing ecological benefits to its surroundings. SIGN UP HERERead the full post on Bustler
