Eco Factor: Temporary structure made from reclaimed materials.
Ann Ha and Behrang Behin’s “Living Pavilion” has been selected as the winner of the first-ever annual pavilion competition organized by several architects. The winning project will be assembled on Governors Island in New York City this spring, where it will provide refuge from the heat.
The Living Pavilion is a low-tech, zero-impact structure that makes use of reclaimed milk crates as a framework where a green wall can be grown. The pavilion’s construction has been kept simple and modular. Relying on commonly available materials for assembly, the pavilion will provide a shaded area away from direct heat, which will be kept cool by the evaporation from its planted surface.
