Last May, for our Current Issues in International Practice studio at the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, my friend and I designed “Until We Meet Again”, a parametric pavilion placed at the entrance of the faculty.
The idea came from both of our interests:
cinematic architecture (his focus) and my exploration of architecture through anthropology and spirituality.
Inspired by the Red String Theory, the belief that those destined to meet will always find each other. We imagined the pavilion as a spatial narrative rather than just a parametric form.
The rotated polygon arch, generated using Rhino Grasshopper, creates a tunnel-like journey. As visitors walk through, light filters between the structures, casting moving shadows inspired by tree canopies.
At the center stands a tree, a quiet anchor for reflection. The pavilion also becomes a platform for students to exhibit their work and share ideas.
Coming from Interior Architecture backgrounds, we naturally thought beyond the structure itself. We designed the interior experience as carefully as the exterior, considering movement, atmosphere, enclosure, and emotion.
I was guided by something my former design principal always said:
“Always bring the exterior into the interior.”
Here, light, shadow, and landscape flow through the structure, dissolving the boundary between inside and outside. Simple in form, layered in intention.
