Posted in Architecture - Installation by FORMAKERS

THE SWARM' is a parametrical designed, free-standing, sculptural pavilion.

It develops its form from the theme of a flying flock of birds.

By joining 211 individual, CNC-milled modules the result is a play of density, light and shadow.

The focus is yet on the characteristic features of a swarm of birds.

The curve gives the pavilion the dynamic of a passing flock of birds which streaks the ground only for a glimpse and moves upwards to the sky in its next movement.

At a second glance a complex system reveals itself, which is the base for the connection of the individual parts and the entire shape.
