Entro, the pavilion ‘within’, floats in the water and provides a habitat for insects and other aquatic life. The structure is designed to be sustainable and eco-friendly, using recycled materials and providing an environment for biodiversity to thrive. The plants on the structure help to absorb carbon dioxide from the air, while the recycled mesh plastic provides a home for microorganisms that break down pollutants in the water. Entro also serves as an educational platform, showcasing the benefits of sustainable design and the importance of preserving the natural environment.

Si, the pavilion ‘Itself’ is a sustainable and innovative solution for bird conservation. Made from 3D printed recycled mesh plastic, the pavilion serves as an aviary for birds being reintroduced to the wild. The lightweight and durable material allows for ventilation and natural light to enter the pavilion, creating a comfortable environment for the birds. Additionally, the pavilion features a large tree that strikingly resembles the early life stages of a bird egg, particularly in its internal structure. The pavilion is also covered in plants that provide a natural habitat for the birds, helping to regulate the temperature inside and creating micro biomes for various flora and fauna.
