Novartis Pavillon - Zero-Energy Media Facade
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Spatial Design / Installations / 2023
The zero-energy media facade of the Novartis Pavillon combines organic photovoltaics and LEDs to create a communicative building skin. It features a total of 10,000 solar modules with 30,000 embedded LEDs, and consumes only as much power as it can produce. This visually multi-layered membrane was used to screen the works of three international artists. The Novartis Pavillon is located in Basel, Switzerland, and is a place of learning and exchange, to bring the world of science and medicine closer to the community.
