The Termite Pavilion



The first ever 3D scan of a termite mound scaled up to a human scale. The architects and the engineers worked together in selecting a central section of a termite mound and recreated the mound in a larger scale for people to walk in and experiance the space. The mound is built in sections using cross laminated timber, which was the safest and the cheapest material to build the mound with. The result is a set of laminated organic forms that make the installation.
