Architecture for the Anthropocene

This climate-responsive 3D-printed prototype pavilion, designed by architecture studio Hassell in partnership with 3D-printing studio Nagami and creative collective to.org, is made from recycled plastic. 

The structure is inspired by Qarmaq, a type of inter-seasonal, single-room family dwelling long used by the Central Inuit of Northern Canada. The pavilion will be hermetically sealed with its gently grooved exterior designed to collect snow to create natural insulation similar to the traditional igloo.
