The Natural Pavilion is the national pavilion at Floriade Expo 2022 in Almere. It is a showcase for future (housing) construction with innovations for the current spatial and climate challenge in the Netherlands. The pavilion is built from bio-based materials, is nature-inclusive, can be dismantled and reused in a different configuration, giving it a second, third or fourth life. Studio Nico Wissing designed an outdoor space in, on and around the pavilion to inspire visitors how to live in a sustainable and edible garden. For instance, various fruit trees and plants promote biodiversity, materials such as loam sand are permeable and a ‘wadi’ – a lowered piece of land – captures rainwater. A climate-proof living environment, made for the future.
The surrounding of The Growing Pavilion and The Exploded View were also designed by Studio Nico Wissing.
