Judges Comments:

"Contemporary structures have departed this dramatic curved shape tensiles, a nice return to Otto era."

APPLICATION and DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

The creation of unique Exhibition Pavilion using these large conical forms.  The conical forms to provide both shade and reprieve from the sun but also provide cooling through a passive cooling air ventilation system (reminiscent of the wind towers of traditional Middle Eastern architecture).

Mehler Coated Technical Textiles supplied large quantities of coated fabric for the 2015 Milan Expo.

The major application was for sun shading the two main axes of the Expo. The 85,000 sqm of fabric was essentially planar rectangular panels attached to opposing valley and ridge cables.

One important concept behind the simple forms was the re-use of the fabric following the Expo.

Other projects included:

• Iranian Pavillion (2,500 sqm)
• Ferreo Pavillion (1,600 sqm)
• Institution Bologna Pavillion (4,500 sqm)
• Tent at the entrance (6,000 sqm)
