This temporary timber pavilion was constructed by a cohort of 19 students and a team of academics from Taiwan during a ten-day digitalFUTURES workshop. It employs a timber plate assembly system in which components are prefabricated using a laser cutter and friction-fit into modules. These modules are then assembled like bricks to form a compression shell structure.

Construction was guided by an augmented-reality interface linked to a digital twin of the pavilion. The digital model communicated the position and orientation of each component to the assembly team, maintaining accuracy while removing the need for conventional construction drawings. The project continues research into timber plate structures initiated with the Curtin University pavilion in 2020.
