3D printed pavilion addresses harsh environments

Made entirely from recycled plastics, the pavilion is produced through computational techniques and 3D printing for fabrication. 3D printing allows higher geometrical freedom to create full-scale functional architecture.

The innovative pavilion sets a precedent for the future of design. This architectural freedom allowed designers to shape the pavilions so that they operate with minimal energy and off the grid.

It can be easily and efficiently transported and assembled on-site as it comes in 24 individual pieces.

The pavilion addresses harsh environments.

For colder climates, the pavilion will be hermetically closed and its outer skin will feature fins designed to capture snow and create natural insulation, similar to how snow insulates igloos.

For hotter climates, overlapping fins act as natural shading, promoting passive cooling, cross ventilation and water harvesting.

In addition, the added skylight and opening features reinforce a connection with the natural environment, allowing natural lighting or ventilation to pour in.
