The design of the pavilion was first modeledby plasticine in order to have the maleability and flexibilty to form the shapes of spaces needed. The concept of the 2 wings was first shown with plasticine and the functional spaces were determined.The relationships be-tween the wings were experimented and tested for functionalityThe form was then modeled on rhino. Lines were drawn and then surfaces were made using the loft command. The 2 wings were de-signed on the 3D scale, and then several functions and commands as sweep, rotate and bend helped form the form. editing the sur-faces through control points achieved the desired forms.The file was exported to 3Dmax, where further editing of the wings was performed. The scale of the forms was adjusted and the lattice command was tried. the openings were edited at different levels.The surroundings and rendering was done on 3D max
