When light falling on one section of the fa\u00e7ade increases, the cells light up corresponding to the intensity of light focused and the level of ambient light. When the expo is over, the fa\u00e7ade will be recycled and each solar cell will be sold as a souvenir. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2009\/12\/16\/swiss-pavilion_4_F6Zbe_69.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"swiss pavilion_4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2009\/12\/16\/swiss-pavilion_5_MGagE_69.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"swiss pavilion_5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2009\/12\/16\/swiss-pavilion_6_QrKxk_69.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"swiss pavilion_6\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2009\/12\/16\/swiss-pavilion_7_q8pdU_69.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"swiss pavilion_7\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.designboom.com\/weblog\/cat\/9\/view\/8498\/buchner-brundler-architects-swiss-pavilion-at-shanghai-expo-2010.html\">DesignBoom<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eco Factor: Sustainable pavilion designed to harness renewable energy for illumination.
