Project Description

Project Description: “INEVITABLE??”

INEVITABLE is an experiential pavilion confronting visitors with a vision of a world shaped by unchecked climate change. Instead of statistics, environmental data is translated into a spatial narrative, where architecture becomes the medium of communication. Visitors encounter their own urban landscape reframed within catastrophic climatic conditions, prompting reflection on whether this future is truly inevitable or can be reshaped through awareness, responsibility, and behavioral change toward nature.

Selected Lens — Lens 2: Narrative Depth

• Architecture as storytelling through sequential spatial experience

• Atmospheric modules depicting distorted ecosystems and built environments

• Visitors positioned as participants confronting consequences of human actions

Spatial Strategy:

• Compressed sequential journey choreographing visitor movement

• Flooding: reflective surfaces visually submerge the visitor

• Heat & Wildfire: narrowed passages, filtered red–orange light, scorched textures

• Drought: cracked ground patterns with skeletal structural frames

• Polluted Air: translucent membranes obscuring perception and clarity

• Extreme Weather: tilted elements and destabilizing canopy planes

• Culmination in luminous clearing symbolizing collective agency and change

Symbolic Strategy:

• Fractured canopy acting as both shelter and warning

• Form symbolizing thinning atmospheric protection and ecological imbalance

• Upward spatial opening reframing inevitability into potential transformation

Functional Strategy:

• Pavilion as educational and reflective installation

• Integrated panels and projections communicating contextual imagery

• Spatial compression regulates movement and ensures intimate engagement

User Experience Narrative:

• Entry beneath a low oppressive canopy

• Sequential movement through climatic-condition modules

• Familiar environments perceived as altered, damaged, or submerged

• Individual immersive journey transitioning toward openness

• Exit into a clearing framed by a canopy — ending with responsibility over despair

The 10m³ Constraint:

• Strict volume limitation shaping concept and spatial strategy

• Compression used as primary experiential tool.

• Constraint acting as a metaphor for planetary limits

• Transforms volume into narrative, warning, and agency.
