# Climate Awareness Artful Pavilions The Heatwave Pavilion Won This Year's Golden Lion Award By Amy Duong | Published 2025-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatwave-pavilion References: [divisare](https://divisare.com/projects/530918-andrea-avezzu-heatwave-pavilion-of-kingdom-of-bahrain)  The Bahrain Heatwave pavilion at this year's [Venice Architecture Biennale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-capsule-in-time) was the winner of the Golden Lion award this year. It is made to bring attention to the rising global temperatures by adding a [cooling ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morocco-pavilion) hanging over seating. The pavilion has a [central column](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geology-of-britannic-repair) that is connected to chains to support the cooled ceiling -- this cools the area underneath. It was made to focus on providing cooling for those who work labor-intensive jobs. When accepting the Golden Lion award, Al Khalifa shared, "The theme of the pavilion is a very relevant subject, not just to Bahrain but on a global scale. The term heatwave is a very common term we hear in the media, in news and even amongst our conversations at home. It is a stress to our urban centres and local communities, and the pavilion aimed to address those issues through an innovative technique."
