Trevol is a PQ shadow canopy for a school outdoor space.
Commissioned to provide a versatile space for various school activities, the design unfolds a large interconnected funnel system of planar quads plates achieved through a digital form-finding technique, reminiscent of Antoni Gaudi’s iconic inverted models, sheltering the students with a fresher air by means of a breathing skin, and large cantilever.
Timber climate shelter for a public school demonstrating ease of construction in segmented corrugated timber shells with digitally fabricated rigid joints. This project is situated within a research framework that highlights the capabilities of computational design, simulation, and digital fabrication methods for minimizing ecological footprint in architecture
