Epiphyte is a complete self sufficient,
modular summer pavilion, created to travel around the world providing
its surrounding with a natural aesthetic , explaining modern and ecological building systems in one architectural experience. The pre-fabricated organism
is designed to have carbon-zero emissions, collecting energy at daytime
using it for media projection at night. It benefits from its green or
urban surrounding, while providing a new and interesting space for
exhibitions and art installations. The cladding is covered by a TiO2
nano layer of shaped anatase that reacts to ultraviolet rays enabling
the reduction of air pollution, cleaning the atmosphere around the
pavilion.
Epiphyte collects rainwater at the three lowest points of its
construction, storing the grey water in a central core where it is
filtrated, cleaned, vaporized and used by the mist system to cool down
the surrounding and the thin film photovoltaic cells on the roof of the
summer pavilion. The pavilion creates a foggy ambience of its own inside
using sound, smell and media projection to attract its users.
Epiphyte’s water core becomes the fireplace of the 21st century,
providing an interesting space, where people gather, meet and interact
with each other.
