About Octagon Ekspopavilion
Ottekanten—en geometrisk form valgt af Nikola Tesla til sit tårn—inspirerede designet af et unikt paviliongkompleks. Ved at rekonstruere tårnet med energieffektive teknologier og gøre udsigtsplatformen til dets centrale element omfatter det arkitektoniske ensemble otte pavilloner arrangeret omkring tårnets ottekantede base. Dette innovative design kunne blive et fremtidigt vartegn for enhver international ekspo-lokalitet. Et glasoverdækket atrium, understøttet af lynformede søjler, tilføjer et symbolsk og slående visuelt element.

- Production Technology
- This design originated from sketches and was then developed in 2d and 3d with post-production incorporating aI tools. The methodology also included photo analysis of the Tesla tower, which has served as the foundation for both 2d and 3d computer illustrations. The tower could be enhanced with a mix of new materials and constructive elements to meet 21st century standards as an energy-efficient design.The proposed solution is designed to feature a structural system that allows the support of the atrium roof, covered with glass lattice, to be held up by columns shaped like lightning.
- Design Challenge
- The establishment of a distinctive pavilion complex enables the integration of these pavilions into a mixed-use cluster and a novel community in cities globally, particularly in nations that recognize and support energy efficiency and the advancement of science overall.
- Research
- The study focused on linking thematic structures of communication spanning a century. The experimental tower will be transformed into a pavilion meant to bring together individuals from around the globe and convey the idea that communication started with Tesla and persists with the upcoming generation of scientists, who, motivated by the Tesla tower, have elevated communication further by launching satellites into orbit
- Inspiration
- The innovations and experiments of Nikola Tesla in the 21st century capture significant interest from the global audience. This design draws inspiration from Nikola Tesla's tower and is enhanced by a courtyard extension shaped like an octagon, providing the composition with essential sculptural qualities and a fitting connection to the mass typology within the design
- Project Duration
- The design phase began in 2024, and the development is anticipated to occur in 2026
- Operation Flow
- The venue can serve as a fair pavilion that may be transformed into a commercial and residential space post fair, thereby guaranteeing its sustainability.
