The project at AR-MA included designers, engineers, landscape architects, architects, and town planers to create a building that could be put together on site with in a week’s time. Gene Sherman, Executive Director at SCAF, developed the project and built a team to carry the design out.

Robert Benson, Director and architect of the project, created a computer design that would be fed though a CNC machine that would create the parts that team calls Trifolium. Robert Benson describes the experience in an interview as “architects usually only create the design then hand over a set of drawings. In this case you were designing and creating at the same time”.

The material for the design project is thermally produced Corian exterior covering with 152-laser cut cylindrical, black emulate polished core panels. Each piece is connected by fabricated fixings. This pavilion allowed designers to experiment on how an interior affects the participants via the material and the structure.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
