The Danish architects 3XN have unveiled their ‘Learning from Nature' pavilion at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in the town of Humlebæk, Denmark.
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art invited the Danish architecture firm 3XN to design a pavilion demonstrating cutting edge possibilities within sustainable and intelligent materials. 3XNs objective has been to show, that sustainability does not equal architectural compromise. The result is a pavilion that is built of bio composites with integrated intelligence that creates a dynamic interaction with its physical surroundings and its users.
The pavilion is called ‘Learning from Nature' and everything about the pavilion is literally inspired by nature itself: The biological cycle of nature is the fundamental basis for the shape, the materials and the dynamic energy generation. The pavilion is shaped as a Moebius band to symbolize the biological cycle; and the properties of the construction are very like those of nature – for example, the pavilion has a coating of nanoparticles that helps clean the air. Additionally, the pavilion is built of biodegradable materials; and as for energy, the pavilion is 100 percent self-sufficient.
'Learning from Nature' is unveiled today and can be seen at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark, until October.
