Virtual Pavilion

My previous site was thought to be a bit large scale(site of mountaneous landscape) in consideration to the thing's scale due to which I reduced it to a public space scale.
The dharma-chakra is chosen as a visual symbol to portray my main concept of nomination, but here giving the authority for the visitor to take control through his personal visual judgement. The space was to encourage visitors to travel through the stairs reaching within a circular space where one would have the option to choose either the throne or the chair depending on which they find interesting/attractive. Once that is done, they are elevated/nominated to the central axis in within the chakra itself. Again, here, one has the chance to choose their path based on their visual interest leading them to one of the radial paths. Each one based on gravity pulls or makes it hard for the user to head further therefore putting them in a state of self importance/valuing or not. Once they experience this, they might be forced into heading back to the center to understand their optional opportunity of authority. Once in center, they will be able to use the axis to their own extent. They can choose any things and arrange it according to their own personal visual hierarchy/contrast. Choosing any thing/related things would result in projecting the context through the planar axis Chakra which parallels down to the entrance area too with the same category information of the latter "Barcelona Chair".


* FURTHER IMPROVEMENT

After critique, the space was considered as too complex and in order to travel through it , the visitor might have to study the architectural grammar that was found as somewhat alien. In order for the visitor to understand my space, it is necessary to create a virtual grammar that co-relates to the throne and chair. Therefore, creating a typology that reflects in contrasting relations of "extravagant" vs. "mundane", "Ornamented contrasting" vs "Mies's Grey", or "Traditional elements" vs. "Modernistic elements" is important for the person to navigate through the created pavilion. Also in order to for the space to function, it is necessary that it provokes visual tension. This would be done with the help of the typology but varying qualities of matter of concerns : light, color and material.
The scale would be maintained to the existing, but in order to facilitate the subjective ( matter of concerns) and objective (matter of facts), I would shift to the previous landscape.
