People’s Pavilion won the Frame Awards 2018 in category Sustainable Design, The Dutch Design Awards 2018 in the category Habitat, and the ARC18 Innovation Award.
People’s Pavilion is nominated for the New Material Award and the ARC18 innovation award. People’s Pavilion is published in the Dutch Yearbook of Architecture 2017/2018.
The pavilion is a design statement of the new circular economy, a 100% circular building where no building materials are lost in construction.
The designers of bureau SLA and Overtreders W have accomplished this with a radical new approach:
all of the materials needed to make the 250 m2 building are borrowed.
Not only materials from traditional suppliers and producers, but also from Eindhoven residents themselves.
And to be clear, it’s not 70% or 80% or even 95%, but 100% of the materials:
concrete and wooden beams, lighting, facade elements, glass roof, recycled plastic cladding, even the Pavilion’s glass roof, all of which will be returned completely unharmed – with one special exception – to the owners following the DDW.
The exception? The striking colored tiles that make up the Pavilion’s upper facade, made from plastic household waste materials collected by Eindhoven residents, are distributed among those very residents at the end of DDW.
100% borrowed means a construction site without screws, glue, drills or saws. This, in turn, leads to a new design language:
the People’s Pavilion reveals a new future for sustainable building: a powerful design with new collaborations and intelligent construction methods.
