EXPO2020-UNStudio Dutch Pavilion Competition entry proposal

The Nexus – the central attraction of the pavilion – is an alternative, sustainable solution to living in this landscape. With a nod to traditional greenhouses, the Nexus is the evolved and locally adapted version of the greenhouse. It not only allows vegetables to grow locally, but collects the water and energy needed for crops to grow. – UNStudio

SCRIPT OBJECTIVE

  • the nexus is an expo competition entry, it never got built, so one of the design goals was to design a parametric structure script that can be applied to any plot size .
  • the parametric structure should be attached to the pattern that surrounds and wraps the building so if the height or floor count is increased the pattern of the facade is linked to it without losing its geometrical constraints.
