The Termite Pavilion explores «insect-human interactivity» during the Pestival in London. The structure is based on a scan of a Namibian termite mound and scaled it up to a size which would allow humans to move through it. The piece is six cubic metre structure is built up of 51 layers of CNC-cut laminated spruce, for reasons of sutainability and cost. It’s a collaboration between Softroom Architects, Freeform Engineering, Atelier One, Haberdashery London, Chris Watson and Pestival.
