Archimedean Pavilion

This a printable STL file of the Archimedean Pavilion.

The Archimedean is a ten-point-five-meter-long, six-meter-wide and three-point-five-meter high pavilion, which was installed on the wooden platform between the schools of Architecture and Building Engineering in the University of Seville (Spain). As in the Caterpillar project, the origin of this work lies on the combination of geometric research and teaching innovation, with the intention to carry out a generative model to be used as an Architectural Geometry exercise for both schools' students.

The starting point for this project is the projective interpretation, already made by professor Gentil-Baldrich (Gentil Baldrich, 1997), about the proposition 12 stated by Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 B.C.) in his work “On Conoids and Spheroids” (Archimedes, 1897). That came to say that the planar section of a paraboloid of revolution, produced by a plane neither parallel nor perpendicular to the axis, is an ellipse. And that th
