BANPU PAVILION - AGRICULTURAL WASTE DIVERTED PANELLING MATERIAL THAT GROWS BEYOND THE EVENT
Banpu Pavilion: Circular Material Pavilion for GASTECH 2026
Banpu Pavilion: Circular Material Pavilion for GASTECH 2026
THE BANPU PAVILION FOR GASTECH 2026 WAS AN EXPERIMENTATION WITH USING NEW CIRCULAR MATERIALS FOR TEMPORAL STRUCTURES AND EVENTS. WE DECIDED TO USE PAPER THAT WAS MADE FROM CORN HUSK FIBERS THAT WAS DIVERTED FROM INCINERATION THAT WOULD NORMALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE POLLUTION PROBLEM OF THE COUNTRY. THE CORE CONCEPT OF THE DESIGN FOLLOWS THE BANPU CORE BUSINESS MODEL OF USING GAS THAT IS PRODUCED WHILE CARBON SEQEUSTERING CARBON FROM THE ATMOSPHERE TO OFFSET THE EMISSIONS PRODUCED DURING THE PRODUCTION AND INJECTS THE CAPTURED CARBON INTO THE GROUND.

THE PAPER WE USED IS SPINKLED WITH FOOD CROP SEEDS. AFTER THE EXHIBITION IS OVER, THE MODULAR SUSPENDED PANELS WERE REMOVED AND WILL BE GIVEN TO A LOCAL SCHOOL TO BE PLANTED INTO THE SOIL AND EVENTUAL GROW INTO FOOD CROPS. WE WANTED TO QUESTION AND CHALLENGE THE LIFESPAN OF MATERIALS USED FOR TEMPORARY EVENTS LIKE THESE AND TO SEE WHETHER WE CAN EXTEND ITS LIFE IN NEW WAYS NOT ONLY FOR THE ORIGINAL INTENDED USE. IN THIS CASE, A TRANSFORMATION FROM CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL TO FOOD PLANTS.
