Pavilion Concept, 1:1 Model, 3D Print

Team: Adam Salem, Lia Choi,
Elsa Thomas, Junjie Jiang

Worked directly with General Motors to develop pavilion concepts for a music festival in 2030 showcasing their new EV line.

Our pavilion offers a meditative retreat of smeary solitude, like the blurred view from a car window. Visitors move through an expanding tunnel swelling like a storm before arriving at the calm eye: a mist-filled dome with terrace seating, a mocktail bar, and vehicle stations.
