The Dragon Skin Pavilion is a study on how architects can reassert control over parts of the construction process previously surrendered to factories and contractors, and how this enables them to materialize discoveries from the digital into the built environment. It is a plywood structure held together only by gravity (no engineers = no structure = elements ARE the structure). The work was designed and constructed for the 2011-12 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture.
