Sustainability
Curatorial Idea:
Each pavilion concentrates on one topic of green building. The topic is content but also architectural programme.
The topics to be addressed are :
- geothermical energy
- solar energy
- drainage and xxx of water
- air xxx
- building envelopes
- life cycle of materials
Sustainability measures
1. Minimising heat-loss through the building skin by:
Using compact building form
2. Minimising heat-loss through the building skin by:
high levels of thermal insulation
3. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:
tighly sealing the building
4. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:
extracting heat energy from exhaust air
5. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:
pre-heating supply air in the Winter
through the geothermal heat exchange system
6. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:
pre-cooling fresh air in subterranean air passages
of geothermal heat exchanger
7. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:
exterior solar protection in the tripied- glazed windows
8. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:
efficient interior mounted shading of the glaze roof
9. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:
cooling at night with fresh air to exploit the thermal
mass of the building´s primary structure
10. Maximising the passive use of solar Energy with:
flexible solar protection for the offices which allows
low winter sun into the rooms
11. Maximising the passive use of solar Energy with:
active use of solar energy with thermal solar collection/
photovoltaic collectors
12. Tempering the building climate, using the atrium:
in offices facing onto the atrium:
natural air ventialtion by opening the windows
as well as exhaust air through `overflow` elements
into the atrium by natural convection
13. Tempering the building climate, using the atrium:
in offices located on the exterior facade:
exhaust air through òverflow`elements into the atrium
by natural convection
14. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:
a relatively narrow building with (11.8m)
15. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:
an optimised proportion of window glazing: ca. 35%
of exterior and ca. 60 % of the interior facades
16. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:
the use of surfaces to direct and reflect daylight
17. Further ecological measures:
district heating from landfill methane
18. Further ecological measures:
use of recycled material and ecological, biodegradabie
and reusable building materials
19. Further ecological measures:
planted roofs
Using compact building form

A series of pavilions in the city of
The viewing public varies from children and school classes, to home owners, builders and professionals but addresses also corporate structures. This “life-size dictionary of green building” will enable the viewers to understand the implication of green building practices, in terms of the environment, the individual’s costs and advantages.
Each pavilion addresses one different aspect and technique of green building. The addition of them all, adds up to a basic knowledge about this building practice.

Aim + Model
The Concept of the City in Miniature
We all remember thinking back at the times in the 60`s and 70`s, travelling with our families across Europe and being thrilled going to the Themes Parks of the „Miniature City“ - the only one that existed at the times. The models included the downtown area, neighbourhoods, water towers, bridges and a working miniature railroad of whole cities built to a consistent scale- for example the Hague Madurodamm, Legoland, Swiss Miniatur, etc. There is evidence to suggest the existence of private model villages and miniature parks since before 1900, but it was only in the 1930s to 1950s that the genre became known as public tourist attractions.
We treasure the memories of us as giants in the meticulously rebuilt to scale environments, embracing the Eiffel Tower or with child-like joy seeing at only one glance the railway system and watch the trains crossing the city.... the whole world at our feet!
Today in the digital era, the idea of a city in miniature has been transcribed into numerous video gaming programs - simcity, theme park, civilization, sims, etc.-
What is so fascinating about the experience of a „day out“ at a miniature park, -other than the educational, historical and tourist information- is the experiential adventure, which is no longer present in its digitally recreated counterpart.
If we have this particular ability abstraction and thus of projecting ourself in space and imagining, then we can also use this gift to project ourselves into the future. Imagining the city of the future as a truly „better place for better living“ is the topic of this miniature expo on green building in
With the aim of focussing on all aspects concerning the future sustainability of our built environment, phenomena or problems that ought to be addressed, the mini expo will focus on addressing green architecture as a tool for the city of the future. Its purpose to explain and educate, promote and display methods of implementation as well as raising an awareness in the general public for the necessity to develop a realistic future oriented frame of mind.

2. CONCEPT
The pavilions can be placed either in a linear sequence to each other, complementing the immediate content; can be grouped together in one particular open public space or even stacked to become a building: or just scattered in the city, as part of the urban experience and to be discovered. They should reflect the importance of inter-related systems - buildings, open spaces, parking and transit, ecology, infrastructure - and are in harmonious balance with their context, reflecting the “genius loci” of each solution.
A series of accompanying events creates memorable happenings in the city.

3. LOCATION
Motive:
The challenge of climate change calls for a new balance between man and nature. In this challenge cities play an important role.
Cities account for three-fourths of greenhouse gas emissions the world over and buildings are responsible for 40 % of emissions. Improving these could reduce global carbon emissions by 10%. The average building in the
The job of containing climate changing human actions - from individual to industrial - cannot occur in a vacuum. It is an all encompassing task for all aspects of society and has to become a new building ethic.
