Dome Deconstructed transforms regional plant materials into a temporary social architecture. Using branch forks and natural membranes, modules are created that can be freely connected and combined in ever-new configurations. All components were sourced from the Berlin-Brandenburg area and prepared with artisanal skill for their design use. The branch forks were reduced to their basic form, and for the membranes, materials such as tree bark were cut into strips, made flexible, and braided, while willow rods were assembled into geometric patterns.
The “pavilions” provide shade but no other structural functions. They form hybrid and variable spatial configurations shaped by both nature and humans, characterized by the uniqueness of each individual module. Due to their organic basic form, they resemble individuals interacting with one another, almost like a dance connecting them together.
