Elevated path guiding through forest. Milan Expo 2015, Austrian Pavilion, Milan, Italy. Architect: , 2015.
The pavilion was developed by the interdisciplinary project group under the direction of architect, landscape architect and university professor Klaus Loenhart. The pavilion’s entire floor area is densely planted with 12 Austrian forest ecotypes, ranging from mosses and shrubs to towering, 12-metre trees. In a natural, water-rich forest, cooling occurs through evapotranspiration, meaning the evaporation of water from flora and fauna as well as from the soil and water surface. At , however, the evaporative cooling process is technically augmented. Despite the spatial constraints, succeeds in creating a unique climate zone within the pavilion: a pleasantly cool, fresh atmosphere that invites guests to linger.
