Space Functionality: How does the space get utilised over a three-month period

My pavilion design is multi-purpose with an expandable arrangement to cater for communal growth and varying activities. The site encompasses students and teachers, and encourages creative and educational practice.

As the exhibition unfolds over a three month period, the exterior of the gallery will transform. The galleries will see the pavilion unfold, expand and breathe as communities manifest and mature.

At the beginning of the timeline, the pavilion will primarily be used as ordinary modes of seating, viewing, talking, a user-friendly 'public-feel' space. As well as being a vantage point of the exhibition, allowing for close proximity viewing from varying areas external to galleries one and two. The space may act as a complimentary space to discuss the works explored within speaking surfaces, or as a possible threshold in to the gallery dependent on accessibility decided on by the curators.

As the space breathes and expands to develop wider communities, the gallery can use this to its advantage, by utilising a space with growing exposure, non-traditional modes of art (i.e performative, sculptural, and interactive) may take place within the pavilion, flipping the functionality of the space from public to private, forming a creative platform in which the viewers no longer inhabit the space physically from within, but form creative connection through external viewing into this performative podium.

Nearing the end of the exhibition period, the space will not be physically inhabited by the speaking surfaces exhibition as frequently as the purpose of the pavilion becomes more determined by the dwellers and formed arts and design student body. In order to benefit the communities within and the exhibition, the pavilion will encourage arts and design students to host events/urban interventions/collective meetups/artistic potlucks etc within the space, as a learning tool, and a way to use the space for educational purposes which benefits the invidual students and their papers, as well as the wider communities of the art and design buildings, while gaining further exposure for the St Paul's street gallery facing the diverse ever-changing 'breathing space'.
