| Abstrakt: | The Z‐Snap Pavilion has been representing a central spatial installation at the exhibition “The Nature of Form: Properties of Imagination“ in the historical Fortress Franzensfeste in South Tyrol, Italy, 2016/17. With its realization, we document the research on a novel design method and geometrical setup, which activates a bending active behavior of the used material and consequently releases a snap action and self-locking mechanism as described by the authors [3,4]. Simultaneously, the pavilion can be seen as the merger of these investigations and the experience gained from previously fabricated pavilions like the single‐layer “Wooden D‐Form Structure” [5] and the double‐layer “Surface to Form Pavilion” [6]. The intelligence of the full-scale paper‐only structure “Z‐Snap Pavilion” lies in the advanced generation and simplified assembly of 1000 identical, prefabricated elements into a semi‐double‐layer, shell‐like structure. This paper describes the research and development of the pavilion from the geometrical setup of a single Z-snap element to the arrangement into modules, to their population on a doubly curved surface to its production, assembly and installation in full scale by 5 people within 5 days. |
