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.
