The Uguns Pavilion // An animated system

Latvian studio didzis jaunzems architects (DJA) has designed ‘UGUNS’, a pavilion celebrating the dynamics, fluidity, and shading of fire. made of multiple wooden beams, the installation simulates nine flames, each featuring a symbolically arranged bench inside.
the stacking of wooden beams that shapes the flames is formed by rotating each element through 2.5 degrees from its previous in the row. the seats inside DJA’s pavilion are designed following the principle of a campfire and using the concept of sitting in a circle to unify its people by inviting them to start a conversation.

Pseudo-code

  1. Begin by defining the initial curves,Create a circle and divide it in 9 parts
  2. Offset of the axis from the 9 point previosly created
  3. Divide the axis in 64 elements to obtain as much points as the beams in the strucutures.
  4. Extrude of the beams’axis from the aforementioned points.
  5. Rotation of the main axis.
  6. Shape the frames through the use of two Gaussian Graph mapper.
  7. Polar array.
  8. Set Polygons along the axises to create the beam.
