027 Mobile Village
Conceived for a travelling exhibition to promote Human Rights touring through the Arabic World, the ‘Mobile Village’ consists of three pavilions for exhibition, education and performance use. The iconic configuration employs locally available resources for natural cooling. Breathing cool air in from top, the tent opens like a flower. Made of triangular aluminum elements, the vertical egg-shape structures propose a modern interpretation of the culture of nomadic tents and wind towers.
