Unfolding
Lakeside Retreat Hans Peter Worndl
The Pavilion was designed to remain in a constant state of transformation.
Its hinged plywood panels invite compositional reinvention, as these elements
alternately serve as ramps, doors, hatches, balconies, or window shutters.
Worndl and two collaborators built the structure themselves, using off-the-shelf
hardware, to create a three-story interior space beneath a smaller room
and a roof deck. The owners quickly found myriad uses for the pavilion,
making it a place for bird-watching, meditation, boat storage, musical
performances, parties, and poetry readings. Due to a legal controversy,
however, it was disassembled and placed in storage, where it awaits its
next metamorphosis. http://www.arch.wustl.edu/538a/tt/folding3.htm
