The Wind Shaped Pavilion is a design proposal for a large fabric structure that can be used as a public or private pavilion. As a lightweight fabric structure, the wind slowly and randomly rotates each of the six segments around a central open support frame. This continually alters the shape of the pavilion, while at the same time generating electrical power for its nighttime illumination.
The shape of the structure start out as a relatively symmetrically form. Then the wind begins to alter that shape randomly, with only a slim chance of ever returning to its original symmetry. If the structure scales and materials were to change, it could become an apartment complex and or some other commercial building. In this case the occupants take control and rotate segments to adjust to changing desires or needs, such as weather conditions, best view etc.
