THE TERMITE PAVILION
Friday 4 September 2009 - Sunday 6 September 2009
Friday 4 September 5pm – 9pm,
Saturday 5 and 6 Sunday 10am – 10pm
The Termite Pavilion is a sensational walk-in structure inspired by the organic forms surrounding the central chimney of a Namibian termite mound. Original scanned data has been abstracted and scaled up to give a direct insight into the extraordinary architectural and engineering skills of one of Earth's oldest master builders. Discover how leading experts are learning from the termites for the sake of our collective future. This is an art and science collaboration between Softroom Architects, Freeform Engineering, Atelier One, Chris Watson, KLH UK, Haberdasherylondon and Pestival.
Dr Rupert Soars and the team from Freeform Engineering are on hand in the Slow Food demonstration tent to explain their Namibian Field Project and the cutting edge innervations inspired by termites.
