Future Seed is a curvaceous building for sustainable development of Thailand

The Board of Investment (BIO) fair has gone eco friendly this year with its theme “Going Green for the Future.” A line up of green materials and products has been included at the exhibition. After the floods in Thailand, intensive rebuilding activities have been taken up on a large scale. So, along with the eco-conscious development of Thailand, an effort to boost people’s morale after the floods is also being made. Among the hoard of manufacturers, even Bridgestone is taking a crack at exhibiting its pioneering eco technologies at the demonstration this year.

 

The Bridgestone Pavilion, built by Architectkidd, is being displayed at the fair. This green structure showcases Bridgestone’s endeavor to create sustainable designs. The construction has a striking exterior done up in vivid red and white hues. The arched structure embedded with a massive dome shaped door draws immense attention. The fair is a good platform for Architectkidd to show off its construction practices that are starkly different from the standard methods employed in the industry. The scheme applied in the construction was to maximize space on the inside and cut out all superfluous details on the outside like the edges and corners.

The company’s breakthrough technology and materials have been used to construct the edifice. The shiny outer surface of the building has been layered with high performance coatings such as Firestone Ecowhite RubberGard on the roof and EVA heat-reflecting film lamination on the windows as well as doors. The entire building has been made using polymer based materials. Prefabricated handmade steel frames have been used to erect the structure. Many green elements have been incorporated in the construction. The flooring is made from used materials. Solar panels have been installed to ensure utilization of renewable energy. The light transmitting solar panels sourced from Panasonic and Sanyo have been put up on the roof of the building as the skylight. Hence, the pavilion has been aptly dubbed as ‘Future Seed.’
