Termite Pavilion

Concept

Nature is known as a model of sustainable design and we can learn a lot from it. This pavilion is inspired by the termites’ nest which is efficient at controlling internal ventilation for providing thermal comfort. The mound is porous across nano, micro, and macro-scales, with the tunnel structure within the mound constituting the macro-scale pores. Air is brought up through the tunnel and then rises into the mound. So this mechanism cause internal temperature becomes warmer during the night and cooler during the day. This pavilion is designed by the rules of termites’ nest and can control the wind flow by its macro-scale pores to reach the efficient ventilation in it.
