Designer Querkraft introduces its new Austrian pavilion which is made with inspiration drawn from the look and functions of iconic wind towers and its climate regulations. It has traditional Arab architectural themes that are usually made from clay.
The building itself is multi-sensory and is made up of 38 cones intersecting one another at a range of heights. Due to the inspiration behind the structure, it relies on natural air conditioning and is placed along three green courtyards that are integrated with a water mist system to regulate the climate. During the night time, the space cools down due to the use of clay and concrete absorbing the coolness and releasing it throughout the day.
