The Nation of Bahrain's pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by architect Andrea Faraguna, presents 'Heatwave,' an innovative exhibition that focuses on passive cooling strategies in public spaces. Inspired by Bahrain's traditional architecture and responding to the ongoing global issue of elevated urban temperatures, the installation creatively combines old and new cooling methods. Winning the Golden Lion award, it showcases a unique system involving a geothermal well, demonstrating Bahrain's commitment to addressing climate challenges through architecture.
The pavilion 'Heatwave' is a cooling response to combat rising urban temperatures using a combination of traditional cooling methods and modern technology for public spaces.
Andrea Faraguna describes the installation as a mock-up system combining geothermal cooling and a canopy to deliver cooled air, addressing climate challenges effectively.
