The other Award of Merit winners were Owen Melisek and Silas Clusiau for their submission, Waverider, a waterfront pavilion located on Kavouri Beach in Greece.AWARD OF MERIT: WaveriderThis structure would float in the water and follow the waves. It would be capable of doing that thanks to the use of hollow steel framing and buoyant masses. People would enter the Waverider from the beach and would use the walkway to get to the main structure, allowing them to feel as if theyre walking on water.Melisek says he and Silas Clusiau helped come up with the idea by thinking of what kind of setting steel wouldnt be ideal in and set out to disprove that. Nobody can imagine steel moving very muchand steel being in water, says the second-year architecture student at the University of Waterloo.ThecomponentsneededforWaveriderincludecables,a walkway structure, small attachment parts, wave floaters, handrails and cylindrical parts. The finishes used on the different pieces varied, but were either stainless steel with a rough finish, stainless steel with a smooth finish, or galvanized steel.As for locale, Melisek says they needed to pick a beach that didnt have significant tide changes, so that ruled out an ocean setting.Melisek says given the wet, salty environment with turbulent movement and the need for the materials to stretch long distances, there was only one feasible option.With modern solutions, steel is the only thing we could have put there, he says.
