The Baltimore Harbor is home to a dynamic cultural landscape; the built environment speaks to cultural, social, and historical events. This led to a design that was both a work of art and a space that could be used as more than just a cinema. The additional program consists of a flexible exhibit space, and a ferry terminal for boat tours of the harbor. The excavated spaces of the pavilion frame views of the prominent Federal Hill and the National Aquarium, infiltrating the present cultural hub of Baltimore.
In order to create the pavilion and resulting board, I utilized a variety of programs and tools including Photoshop, Illustrator, and most importantly Rhinoceros. Without the latter program's loft, boolean, contour, and extrusion commands, the task of carving out a dynamic hybrid of programs would have been an arduous one. The capacity of Photoshop and Illustrator to make simple drawings and renderings into powerful diagrams and hybrid drawings led to the final presentation board seen above.
The presentation would not be complete without the inclusion of a scale model, one that shows the screening pavilion in the round. This model was created using the laser cutter, displaying how digital technology can expedite the construction of models.
The presentation board highlights the sectional quality of the screening pavilion, while at the same time providing a night time view of the building in action. The site context, process, and program diagrams supplement these images, completing the dialogue about the creation of a movie screening pavilion in Baltimore Harbor.
The images below were those that did not make the cut, but seemed worth showing:
