Workshop 2010 Location: Alanya, Turkey Program: Pavilion for MEDS Authors: Blaž Šolar, Martin Tomažič Our aim was to create a Pavilion that would enable to experience different climate conditions and temperature inside of the pavilion according to the exterior conditions. Summer temperatures in Alanya can reach more than 40°C. Therefore we designed the pavilion with the technology of old Dubai wind towers, which catch the wind and bring it through the evaporating water pools and than back out. This enables cooler temperatures inside the building. 32
