Floating Pavilion Rises with Changing Sea Levels
Jan-03-13
The Floating Pavilion is the newest example of climate-proof architecture, designed to float on rising waters while maintaining a high level of self-sufficiency.

Developed as part of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative, the pavilion is made up of three connected domes, which are currently floating the old harbor of Rotterdam. Made of ETFE foil, which is 100 times lighter than glass, the floating structure is lightweight yet strong. The domes are heated and cooled by solar energy and surface water, and are designed so that energy is only used in areas where it is needed at that moment. Toilet water is also purified in the pavilion and then discarded into the surface water.
