Ω (OXYGEN-18) - acoustic modular pavilion | GG-loop + Fibreacoustics

In the framework of the event Lovely Waste organized by Source Firenze, Giacomo Garziano from GG-loop and Luca Alessandrini from Fibreacoustics present the innovative acoustic modular pavilion Ω.

Ω stands for Oxygen-18.
Oxygen was the main source of inspiration for the modular pavilion designed by GG-loop and Fibreacoustics.
"We aimed to create a versatile stage for the host and at the same time an immersive experience for the visitors." 
As oxygen molecules, the modular shells can bond with others forming a balanced variable ecosystem. They shift following a regular grid generated by an hexagonal tessellation.
The rhythm of the visitor’s journey alternating between enclosed and open spaces is based on the harmonious breathing sequence of inhalation and exhalation that naturally occurs in living creatures.
The materials of Ω are biodegradable, highly sustainable and recyclable: the easy-to-assemble modular linden wood gridshell is covered with recycled coconut and jute fibers, hardened with corn-starch-based bio-plastic and painted with water-based paint.
The natural look gives the space a warm feel and improves its acoustics due to the porosity of the bio-material, enhancing the immersive cocoon-like experience.
