A scale-model of a mobile Karak-Pavilion… • A design inspired by various tea and coffee ceremonies (Japanese, Chinese, English tea ceremonies & rituals, Ethiopian/ Eritrean coffee ceremonies, and more) here emphasizing the intimate collective and social experience of coming together over the choreographed preparation of Karak… • The experience is also framed around a narrative engagement, during which stories/ anecdotes are told and poems are read… • The design would mainly be entered through four extendable wings, one intended for the Ceremony Master/ Storyteller, three separate entrances for the participants. • This rendition of the design would perform as a mobile pavilion/ folly that could be moved from place to place/ from event to event… • The design would be mainly made of narrow wood beams… • The central fire pit and seating would be made of Cast steel. • The scale-model is made out of bronze and black nylon… • A more permanent representation of the design was featured in a post last November (2021)… • #karak #pavilion #design #architecture #ceremony #ritual #thomasmodeen #architectsindependent #doha #qatar #dohadesign #finnishdesign #finland #3dprinting #scalemodel #qatarcreates #designedinqatar #qatarmuseums #finnisharchitecture #dohadesign (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdNZ3ttM-AV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
