Plants produce organic matt er, at roots level, with sunshine that is used to their own grow. The plant only use approximatly 40% of it, however, the rest disappears into the soil. With Plant Microbial Fuel Cell technology this organic matt er is converted into electricity.

The average producti on of these systems is 3.2 watt s/m2. Furthermore, the vegetati on growing in this green skin aids in the producti on of organic nutrients and local biodiversity, and they help in soft ening temperatures and protecti ng from the south winds.

Facing south-east and south-west the skin is covered with wind catcher devices. These are the areas where the geometry of the domed structure generates higher wind pressure. These devices are big leaf-shaped translucent plasti c wings, connected to dynamos/resistances at the base, and att ached to the skin.

The wind-leafs are installed on the edges of the vegetal skin, producing an uncanny superpositi on of natural and arti fi cial forms of “vegetati on”.

Facing north the translucent texti le skin is covered by Fresnel lenses and photovoltaic cells att ached to the fabric. These Fresnel lenses redirect and concentrate sunlight on the monocrystalline photovoltaic cells behind enhancing their effi ciency. The forest glades or clearings ensure no shadow casti ng on the photovoltaics.

Effi ciencies are esti mated around 40% of the solar radiati on (considering an average of 4,1 kwatt s/m2 the system would generate close to 1,6 kwatt /m2).

The water system is composed from a main piping geometry, that works as network distributi on and vaporizator, and a secondary frame such as the direct-irrigati on system.

A network of water vaporizers, sprinklers and drip irrigati on is in charge of watering the plants of the vegetal skin, cooling the cells of the solar skin, and controlling the temperature of the surroundings of the pavilion through evaporati ve cooling eff ect.
