pulse pavilion bamboo sculpture by the university of st. joseph
designed and built by university of st. joseph in macau by third-year undergraduate architecture students, ‘the pulse pavilion’ is conceived as a temporary structure that stands at plaza sai van, adjacent to macau tower. it is an inhabitable sculpture, a parametrically generated organic lattice structure created from split bamboo rods, interwoven fabric panels, and an interactive LED lighting system. in addition to a range of spectacular pre-programmed light-shows, the bamboo lattice is lined with motion sensors that cause the led lights to change in color and intensity as people move around and through the pavilion.
