Pavilion Sufi is a performance-responsive architecture, designed to capture, reflect, and embody the organic nature of live performance. Inspired by the Sufi Whirling Dervishes of Istanbul, the pavilion is built from an array of suspended fabric disks that spin to reveal oscillating waveforms and space-altering behaviors.
Using crowd/performer energy as an input to drive the rotational speed of the fabric disks, Pavilion Sufi is a living, breathing architectural response to the unique energy generated within every performance.
