DOK 7 | location of pavilion
The Expo 2025 in Rotterdam, while showcasing solutions for turning environmental challenges to economic opportunities, will in itself prove an environmental challenge. An expected 50 million visitors will cause waste and trash to fill the area. This is an opportunity to let the Expo take on the challenge for 2025 on site.
We propose a pavilion which can compost the waste generated by the visitors. The accumulation of organic waste will serve to produce fertile soil, fertilizer and heat for the residents of Rotterdam. Every visitor will be able to deposit their waste in the pavilion as well as connecting the sewage system to the same
The loss of fertile soil due to flooding, the finite supply of phosporus for fertilizers as well the accumulating trash piles in large cities are big environmental concerns. By making a parametric pavilion which can be programmed to provide optimal conditions for composting, we can help alleviate these problems while creating an architectural solution which is strong in both message and experience.
