The amazing recycled and very green Louisiana Pavilion located in the Sculpture Park at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark has recently won an award for design innovation.
The stunning outdoor pavilion, created by Dutch firm 3XN in conjunction with StageOne Freeform Composites and COWI, is made from recycled biodegradable materials including corn, soy-beans, cork and flax, and harvests energy from people interacting with the sculptural forms.
“The project started as an experiment to test the limits of what was possible to construct out of biological materials. It is because we believe that the future is about new materials that require less energy to develop than aluminium or concrete,’ explains Kim Nielsen, Principal of 3XN.
The Louisiana Pavilion is the recipient of the international JEC Innovation Award 2010 for a design that combines sustainability with green intelligent materials. The pavilion is on exhibit at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art until April 1, 2010.
