Gently gliding across the hardscape, the blueish shimmer of Arabesque patterns traces the story of an object that is lost in time once more: the glass vase that once represented deeply rooted traditions and the sharing of craftsmanship across the globe has become a generic commodity produced in masses. Its essence, created and recreated for every other occasion seems befitting to mark the 2020 Dubai Design Week ABWAB Pavilion. This recreation of a ‘glass vase’ is only partially complete, however, as its crystallized state merely hints at its potential for wholeness – breathing, its shifting maze of shadows during the day, and its glowing refractions at night invoke hope for a transition into a post-industrial era of design and craft.The pavilion gently double curves to accommodate the two non-facing streets it aligns to. A side entrance, on a flank, provides alternate paths. Within and around the pavilion, paths for social distancing are materialized, creating a linear maze through urban space, avoiding benches and potential collisions between visitors.Our proposal is a vase-like object composed of completely recycled polycarbonate and printed in 5D as hexagon-based spaceframe components using our multi-ton robotic arms: ‘Habibi’ and ‘Hayete’ (‘my life’ and ‘my love’, in Arabic). The pavilion is entirely parametric (scripted in Grasshopper) creating a seamless link between design, structural analysis and fabrication, and would reinforce the position of Dubai Design Week as a pioneer on the latest research in Architecture.
