Italia Pavilion EXPO 2015

Student of MSc. In Architectural Engineering – 1st Year

We inspire us with the theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” to design an authentic Italian Pavilion, which combines Italian Contemporary Architecture & Culture + Technological Innovations, in which you can have the perception of being within a laboratory of innovation in terms of its technological applications, innovative materials following sustainability principles. 

Technological innovations:

A High-Performance Green Wall: 

The Active Modular Phytoremediation Wall System (AMPS), a bio-mechanical hybrid system, produces "fresh air" byrecirculating air across the plant rhizosphere, reducing energy consumption and the cost of mechanical systems.

Facade of the Future: 

The Electroactive Dynamic Display System (EDDS) is CASE's alternative to existing dynamic glazing technologies. The EDDS has the potential to actively reconfigure its basic patterns in response to fluctuating environmental flows, while also adjusting to variable aesthetic preferences.
