What are the advantages of a solar pavilion?

1. Canopy – The 135-metre wide canopy, which features more than 1,055 solar panels (8,000 m2), is multi-functional. 2. The Pavilion energy demand – Generates its own power supply (a total of 4GWh of annual energy), which is partially made possible by energy saving techniques employed when designing the pavilion.

What is a solar pavilion?

The Solar Pavilion’s main argument is to transition from solar technology to solar design. Marjan van Aubel: Solar energy needs a new, more personal perspective that is part of our culture. This pavilion demonstrates that solar energy can be experienced and used in a new way.

How does a solar pavilion work?

Like a 'solar blanket' the Solar Pavilion harvests the sun's energy, which is then used to spread the sun's heat in the dark space under the 'solar blanket' using infrared radiation. Using the latest techniques and aesthetic solar panels, energy and heat are generated on-site.

What is the solar bytes pavilion?

The Solar Bytes pavilion, designed by assistant professor at Kent State University Brian Peters, is a temporary structure which highlights the potential of new techniques available to architecture: robotic arms, 3D printing, smart technologies such as lighting sensors, and solar energy.

What is a new pavilion?

The new pavilion was conceived as a simple box on top of the existing garden wall. It contains an empty and open living space, providing a fabulous, panoramic view of the surrounding land. The areas facing the yard are fully glazed, and the ground floor can be fully opened to the exterior space through large sliding doors.

What are the design features of a pavilion?

Interlocking joint connection A primary design feature of the pavilion was the development of interlocking joints between the modules. The interlocking connection is based on a sliding joint, where each of the six sides of the hexagonal modules has either a male or female connection.
