The future of construction materials showcased at Louisiana

Lagt online 02.07.09

The Louisiana’s big summer exhibition focuses on new departures in architecture that meet the need for sustainable development.

New inventions, materials, processes and complex architectural methods in the built-up environment is presented in the three exhibition themes The City, Climate & Comfort and Metabolism. Four different architectural ‘future laboratories’ show that sustainable architecture is a far more complex matter than rainwater collection and solar cells.

One of the pavillions are the green "worm" designed by architects 3XN in cooperation with consultants Cowi and British OneStage. It is a study of how far the development of building materials can bring architecture in terms of sustainability.
