Curtain Call is a winning design for the 2024 BuildFest at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, located on the historic Woodstock ’69 site. Responding to the theme of digital and physical fabrication methods, the project employs Human-Robot Collaborative Construction (HRCC) techniques to rethink conventional building practices. Referencing the tectonics of the original Woodstock stage, the pavilion creates a flexible space for performances, pop-ups, or quiet rest, featuring an open-air deck, asymmetrical columns, and a mesh-wrapped roof.
