The Voice of Urban Nature is a new demountable pavilion, located in Almere, the Netherlands. The structure features a wooden frame and pink hempcrete that envelopes a series of lush gardens. Hempcrete is a biocomposite material that combines hemp hurds and lime, sand, or pozzolans.
The demountable pavilion is part of Floride 2022, "an international horticultural exhibition that is held every 10 years in the Netherlands." The Voice of Urban Nature, which is a work that clearly draws parallels between urban structures and natural formations, represents Almere and Amsterdam at Floride 2022. The structure was conceptualized and designed by Overtreders W.
Individuals are invited to walk through The Voice of Urban Nature and explore how"Almere and Amsterdam give nature its own voice."

Trend Themes
1. Hempcrete Experimentation - The use of biocomposite materials in design and construction presents an opportunity to explore new and sustainable building techniques.
2. Integration of Natural Elements - Incorporating natural elements, such as gardens and greenery, into urban structures presents an opportunity to create visually stunning and environmentally conscious designs.
3. Flexible Architecture - Demountable pavilions and other flexible architectural designs allow for easy installation, relocation, and reuse, reducing waste and increasing adaptability to changing environments.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - The construction industry can explore the potential of biocomposite materials, natural elements, and flexible architecture to create innovative and sustainable designs.
2. Urban Planning - Urban planners can incorporate natural elements and flexible architecture into their designs to create more livable, sustainable, and visually appealing urban environments.
3. Exhibition and Entertainment - Temporary structures, such as demountable pavilions, can provide a flexible and visually stunning option for exhibitions, festivals, and other entertainment events.
