Butterfly Pavilion / 3deluxe

Posted in Architecture - Pavilion by * FORMAKERS

On Noor Island, a lagoon island in the middle of the capital of the Arab Emirate Sharjah, German design studio 3deluxe designed a transmedia landscape park, interwoven with an ensemble of several themed pavilions and buildings.

Among them, the Butterfly Pavilion houses more than 500 butterflies in a unique biosphere.

The shape and design of the pavilion’s biomorphic outer shell are the product of an intense formal exploration of parametric design strategies in dialog with traditional Arabian ornamentation.

The highly complex freeform roof is composed of a load-bearing 3D frame with over 4,000 golden aluminum leaves of varying sizes.
