Meiyuan Pavilion Checkpoint

Architecture, Building and Structure Design Meiyuan Pavilion Checkpoint by THAD Meiyuan Pavilion is a checkpoint structure built at the entrance of an old residential community in Beijing. The pavilion offers shelter, a temperature checkpoint, package storage and a resting place. Three separate circulation routes divide entering pedestrians from residents collecting packages, which reduces congestion. Each module is formed of paper tube columns and beams joined by plywood tenon joints and steel bases. Digital fabrication allowed assembly within 24 hours and left the existing pavement intact.
