activity trees

ATHENS, GREECE

This project consists of the development of all aspects – geometric, functional and constructional – of a system of bioclimatic pergolas. The starting point was a series of complex geometric drawings provided by the client which were to be converted into a functional, pergola-like artefact, capable of improving the conditions of comfort of the users and which we named “Activity Trees”.

It was developed over four phases:

• Control of geometry using computer design.
• Design of the bioclimatic components capable of producing cold or heat, depending on the outside temperature: “Bioclimatic boxes”.
• Digital manufacture of the structure and its components.
• Assembly and construction of the pergolas.
