Concept design for Greenpeace bar at 2019 Glastonbury Festival

 

This concept design explores the conception of a lightweight timber structure using mainly osb-like panels to be erected at the 2019 Glastonbury festival by the Greenpeace stage. 

​

The main opportunity offered by the client was the sponsorship by Smartply, who offered osb-like moisture resistant timber panels in different sizes and thicknesses, that would then be cnc machined to create the structure.

​

The concept behind the design is to create a tree-like structure supporting a pitched roof to cover the small bar, using few and repeated flat elements that would gain stiffness by the global arrangement. 

​

Parametric design with Rhino and Grasshopper has been used at an early stage to play with material sizing and with assembly patterns.
