Plug-In Pavilion

In Plug-In Pavilion, Architecture Professor René Davids and M.Arch student Taylor Medlin present their award-winning proposal to the 43rd Central Glass Architectural Design Competition, which called for "architecture coexisting with World Heritage Sites." Their wind-powered plug-in pavilions are designed to sit atop the unique hillside elevators in Valparaíso, Chile, providing free electricity to the city's residents while also promoting a twenty-first century urban revival. The modern architectural plans and digital conceptualizations of the pavilions, superimposed onto black and white photographs of Valparaiso, are both architecturally and aesthetically remarkable.
