Entwine is the pavilion displayed at the Birmingham Timber Expo 2017 created during the Design|Build workshop in the Emergent Technologies and Design Programme at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, supported by TRADA, Hanson Plywood and Media 10.

 

The proposed pavilion is derived from extensive research on plywood composite material systems, specifically on the fields of curved plywood tensegrity. The three undulating surfaces consist of interwoven 4mm plywood strips, spanning 6m in length. In order to achieve these unique anticlastic forms, textile weaving techniques were tested.
