The Kingdom of Bahrain's pavilion, Heatwave, at La Biennale di Venezia highlights innovative architectural solutions to global heating issues. Curated by Andrea Faraguna, the pavilion embraces Bahrain's cultural context while employing contemporary design strategies for passive cooling. It features elements like a geothermal well and solar chimney, creating a unique microclimate through a network of ducts. The structure's modular design and a central column support scalability in urban applications, showcasing a reimagining of vernacular techniques adapted for modern environmental challenges.
The pavilion's architectural design is distinct, featuring a modular unit for scalable implementation that reimagines traditional cooling techniques with contemporary design and engineering.
Heatwave explores passive cooling strategies grounded in Bahrain's climatic realities, aiming to respond architecturally to the environmental urgency shaping urban life today.
