The Endesa Pavillion

The pavillion, settled at the Olympic Port of Barcelona on the score of the Smart City BCN Congress will be installed at the Marina Pier since november 28. The structure brings the distributed intelligence concept to the realm of architecture through a multiscalar aproach. The project aims to define an adaptative constructive system able to respond each solicitation at the lowest scale. By doing this, each single module could answer to his own structural, energetical and enviromental needings. The skin will act as a network of inteligent nodes, a "solar brick" that protects from the solar radiation, collects and storage the energy the data at the local scale. During one year it will perform as a meeting point for knowledge interchange as well as a benchmark for smart grid technologies.

Distributed intelligence The project is an exercise in which a building, under the guidance of the block type of Barcelona, ​​is adapted by adding a series of modules on its facade. These modules, which are seen as triangular pieces section, make possible for the building to optimize energy and spatial intelligence. Its size and components vary depending on the orientation and inclination of the sun, the relationship with the environment and other technical needs.

Therefore, by varying their parts, the system we apply is not the repetition of a formal standard, but the repetition of a logic that is distributed through these modules. In terms of energy, these pieces have in their top photovoltaic panels (1) for solar energy capture. They are also equipped with superior protection, as a visor or forward (2), or side panels (3) to provide passive protection against solar radiation during the hot months, or allow radiation to enter during the cold months.
