Transparent Honeycomb ‘Treehugger’ Pavilion Lights Up the Night in Germany

This <a href="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/14542/fh-trier-one-fine-day-treehugger.html">beautiful sustainably-built honeycomb pavilion</a> in Germany boasts an airy interior interspersed with living trees. Designed by Holger Hoffman, the building weaves together a series of polygons into an intricate play of geometric patterns that mirror the site's natural surroundings.

Situated on a former parking lot beside the Basillica St. Castor in Koblenz, the building is designed to subtly integrate with the surrounding environment.

Tree-like columns separate the space to provide educational cubicles.

The printed <a href="http://inhabitat.com/gorgeous-glass-clad-groot-klimmendaal-rehabilitation-centre-sits-tucked-amongst-the-trees/">glass facade</a> reflects the trees surrounding the building, helping to blur the boundary between the structure and its urban site.

The structure can be dismantled and reassembled once the show is over in October, allowing it to be exhibited in other locations

At night the intricate structure bursts into light, reacting to physical movements by <a href="http://inhabitat.com/color-changing-fukushima-plates-detect-radiation-in-your-food/">changing luminosity and color</a>.

The design lights up the night.

Hoffman collaborated with <a href="http://o-f-d.net/">One Fine Day</a> and the<a href="http://www.fh-trier.de/index.php?id=1&amp;L=1"> University of Applied Sciences in Trier</a> to maximize the spatial capacity of the building, allowing it to be used for multiple activities.

The project is a collaboration between Hoffman, One Fine Day, and the University of Applied Sciences in Trier.
