The purpose of this project is to design the interior of a pavilion that utilises the wasted potentials of glass. By sourcing glass from waste streams the material can be reused, reducing environmental impact as well as general waste. This design uses the material of glass uniquely in three areas; Bathing, transition, and meditation. 'Fragmented' sets out to test the limitation of glass as a material and provide an opportunity for glass waste to be reused in new and creative ways.

For testing the design of the sea glass floor I decided on following mosaic techniques to achieve the look and feel I was after.
I tested this two different ways. The first was by placing the green shards on a base of clay, and filling the gaps in between the shards with more clay to encase the shard edges and hold them in place.
With the brown test I would push a shard down into the clay, pull it off, and then cut into the clay to remove a portion so that the shard would fit into the clay.

In order to further test my ideas for the bathing moment I needed to collect some sea glass, as making sea glass wasn’t an option for me. Surprisingly, Evan’s Bay has an abundance of sea glass on it’s shores (or rather had, as I collected rather a lot).
Most of the glass is from various glass drinks bottles making in an inaccurate representation for my project in terms of the colour and shape of most pieces, but among them were plenty of translucent/white shards, and fairly flat pieces that would work for testing and potentially the final model.

After gluing together the shards of glass into spires, I tested them out in the model. The next stage from here will be to find a suitable substitute for glass to make scale accurate spires.
