build smart: torino, italyThis pavilion is composed of a structural fabric that allows the users in the space to interact with the skin above in regards to temperature and lighting. The fabric is composed of different densities of pvc tube. The energy exchange between the cool and warm water reacts to the people below and is then circulated throughout to create ideal environmental conditions. The system uses natural resources such as solar energy and water pressure flows in a Geothermal Energy Exchange. We created a function prototype, that used a capacitive sensor to change colors.
