DEOND, a design studio, has created the “Enfold” pavilion, a futuristic and sustainable space that combines biophilic design and technology to promote relaxation and introspection. The pavilion, located in Dubai Design District, features a high-tech “second skin” that changes its appearance based on a person’s physical and emotional states. The space is designed to evoke a sense of calm and serenity, with a biomimetic design that mimics natural forms and filters natural light. The pavilion also features an interactive 3D display, or “phy-gital” podium, that projects therapeutic images, and a virtual garment called the HUG bodysuit that uses pressure points to deliver a healing experience. The pavilion is meant to challenge the traditional narrative of architecture and explore the relationship between technology and nature. It is a prototype for future-driven, sustainable architecture that combines innovative materials and biomimetic principles to create meaningful therapeutic experiences.
