The SOMBRA Pavilion, presented at the Time Space Existence exhibition in Venice, exemplifies innovative sustainable architecture through its kinetic shading system. This pavilion, a collaboration between MVRDV, Metadecor, Airshade, and others, features a design influenced by heliodon devices. Its six metal ribs adjust according to the sun's position, with panels that open and close responsively to provide varying levels of shade. Powered solely by natural physical principles, the pavilion serves an artistic and functional purpose, engaging visitors with its dynamic form that resembles a living organism that adapts to environmental changes.
The SOMBRA pavilion is a demonstration of kinetic building elements working on passive physical principles, showcasing innovation without the need for electronics or motors.
Its kinetic shading system reacts to sunlight, opening and closing panels to provide shade while enhancing the user experience through dynamic interaction with the environment.
