Build a scale model of an architectural design with people and flow in mind.

  • What is a pavilion? What are they used for?
  • What are common architectural model scales? How can you add context to your architectural models?
  • Which cities have hosted World's Fairs? Where are the Serpentine Pavilions? Where is the Burning Man Festival?
  • Who are Zaha Hadid, Frei Otto, and Jean ProuvĂ©? What do they have in common?
  • Where and when are temporary buildings and prefabricated structures used? How are they assembled and disassembled?
  • How could you modify and scale ExaPlex to create practical, stiff and strong structures?
