"In line with the objectives of the German "Building Type E" initiative, which has already received broad political and professional support, the Climate Pavilion can be seen as an applied architectural experiment."
"Its interior does not seek to separate itself from external climatic conditions; rather, it responds to them, using passive strategies-spatial configuration, orientation, thermal mass, daylight, and natural ventilation-to maintain a constant exchange with the surrounding Climate Garden throughout the year."
Aligned with the German Building Type E initiative, the Climate Pavilion functions as an applied architectural experiment that integrates interior and exterior climates. The interior remains permeable to external climatic conditions and actively responds through passive strategies. Spatial configuration and orientation guide environmental interactions while thermal mass and daylight regulate temperature and light. Natural ventilation supports airflow and seasonal adaptability. These measures maintain continuous exchange with the surrounding Climate Garden throughout the year, reducing reliance on mechanical systems and demonstrating how architectural design can harness environmental forces to promote sustainability and occupant comfort.
