Vulcan is named from Latin - ‘volcano’. Therefore, Vulcan Pavilion indicates a sense of fear and respect to the unpredictable forces of mother nature.
Vulcan, as a shell structure which is subdivided into three identical modules by 120 degrees each, was situated within an equilateral triangular mass at 2.88 m tall. Vulcan takes the most beautiful moment of nature eruption as its form for accepting general public’s activity. Before the year of 2015, few people will consider that 3D printing technology could be applied to construction scale or architectural spaces. Built by 1086 components with a total weight of more than 1000kg, Vulcan had been certificated as the Largest 3D Printed Structure by Guinness World Record Committee in 2015. Benefited by the 3D printing technology and computational design, ASW took a hash schedule of only two months to complete this project. There were a solid team and a productive 3D printing Farm for this mission impossible. With honor,  this pavilion was assigned as the main venue for 2015 Beijing Design Week Opening Ceremony, and had accommodated over 100 thousand visitors during the exhibition week in Parkview Green Plaza.
