Eco Factor: Sustainable pavilion generates solar energy.
Jacques Ferrier Architects have unveiled their design of the French Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010. The plan needed to be green and the architects have done wonderful work in achieving the desired outcome. The 6000 square meter pavilion, dubbed The Sensual City, will be surrounded by water to make it appear as if it’s floating.
The complex will be built from advanced building materials and environmental protection technology. The roof would be covered with an array of photovoltaic panels that will generate electricity for the building. The complex will also feature a big style French garden inside, which will bring a touch of green to the interiors as well.
