ECO Pavilion for GSHP System
In this competition, we were asked to use the spatial design language to explain the principles of sustainable engineering to the public with a kind of architectural installation in the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground. My group mate and me were collaborating with a PhD student from UCL who has been investigating and refining the GSHP (Ground source heat pumps) system.Our aims was to engage the public with an enclosed space in the existing grass patch and to showcase the simple principle of the GSHP system, which temperature is stable between 10 to 12˚C under the ground surface. We designed two tubes, one with black fabric give a sense of going to the underground while the other with white fabric. There were thermometers connecting with a water bottle in the each end of the tubes. The water bottles in the black tube (tunnel) was covered by soil, the other was stay uncovered. The visitor will discover the mentioned principle after two journeys, then they can stay in the middle of the installation to feel the temperature from the earth.
