The ""Pavilion 259"" project consists of the final work of the Parametric Design in Architecture specialization course, belonging to the Continuing Education Institute of PUC Minas. The pavilion aims to explore the concept of high-low in the production of a 1:1 scale architectural object involving digital design and fabrication and on-site assembly. Faced with an experimental methodology of design and construction, the idea was that students perceive through construction the transposition between the conception of the computational form and the execution on the construction site.The proposal aims to explore the repetition of an industrialized element, available in the market as a constructive element. Through the elaboration of a code using the Rhino / Grasshopper software, this module was adapted to an existing surface, created from the analysis of its structural behavior. For this purpose, 259 plastic benches, milled connections in 10mm marine plywood, screws, nuts and washers were used. The structure was set up by the students under the supervision of the coordinators Marina Borges and Hugo Matos, accompanied by Professor Marcus Vinicius, all of whom belong to the postgraduate course faculty. The proposal illustrates an initiative to leave the digital scale, achieving a greater understanding of tectonics through the materialization of the projects.
