This pavilion uses terracotta modules to enable passive cooling through passive evaporation. Each module allows water to slowly seep through its porous surface, cooling the surrounding air as it evaporates. The form of the pavilion varies from base to top, adjusting to changes in water pressure and heat. Openings in the structure encourage airflow and shade, creating a comfortable microclimate. Rooted in traditional clay construction, the pavilion brings together natural materials and climate-sensitive design for a low-energy architectural solution.
