Canopy Pavilion
Based on scientific research conducted at EPFL, the Canopy Pavilion is a lightweight shading structure for a social gathering space.
The Canopy Pavilion has been designed in a collaborative effort between the Geometric Computing Laboratory (GCM) and the Laboratory for Collective and Active Imagination with Space (ALICE). The key concept of using an auxetic membrane is based on scientific research performed at GCM (see list of publications below). For more information, please contact [email protected].
Canopy Site
Centrally located, between the Rolex Learning Center and the EPFL Pavilions.
Structural System
An efficient double-membrane based on an auxetic linkage.
Shading
