  • Learning From Nature Pavilion by 3XN
    Danish architects 3XN have created a swirling art installation that features some of the most advanced building and energy-generating technologies on earth. Designed for an exhibit at Louisiana's Museum of Modern Art, the incredible pavilion is completely bio-degradable and capable of harvesting piezoelectric and solar energy. Part interactive public art installation and part design experiment, the pavilion generates energy from thin, flexible photovoltaic cells and the weight and pressure of visitors as they walk over it. This energy then powers LED lights that keep the fun going long after the sun sets.
