Context: The annual William Hajjar Competition at Penn State University, is named after legendary faculty member, Bill Hajjar. Hajjar pioneered the use of double skin facade in architecture as a method of climate management. For the 2016 Competition, students were given one week to design a pavilion on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to operate as a children’s workshop for Alexander Calder inspired creations. The Armature seeks to be the ultimate flexible system by providing a simple framework of 10’X10’ beams, from which to hold mobiles and other creations. Indoor and outdoor child-height worktables provide flexible options for children to create. The Armature nestles gently into its landscape, incasing vegetation within its boundaries and providing an elegant contrast to the lawn of the Parkway.
