Rainforest Pavilion - Chilean climate moves to London

14 July 2014, 08:42 | 

Don't miss the chance to visit the Rainforest Pavilion at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, a temporary installation designed by GUN Architects as part of the this year Summer School Show.

An imposing five metre high micro-climate of minimal tree-like structures with a field of pyramidal fabric ‘stalactites’ which gently drip water – the pavilion is an oasis in the centre of London. Visitors can sit beneath a canopy of inverted prisms to enjoy a forest-like environment of raindrops, pools and plants.

Rainforest is part of GUN Architects' exploration into natural dynamics in the diverse Chilean climate – making water a protagonist of the architecture, where the production of temporal atmospheres is based on water circulation and accumulation.

Discover more about GUN Architects by visiting the exhibition in the main AA Gallery.

Where: AA School of Architecture, 36 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3ES 
When: Until 19.07.2014
