SUPSI and MC2.0 present the contest “Solar Design for Public
Co-working Spaces”. This contest highlights the crucial interplay between solar energy and buildings in creating multifunctional solar architectures to redefine the use of solar energy as a building and design material.

Solar design contest

For the contest “Solar Design for Public Co-working Spaces”, participants were asked to design a temporary co-working space in which a flexible and lightweight photovoltaic film is integrated into one or more technological systems such as shading systems, facades, roofs, street furnishing elements, etc.
This pavilion collects the 3 best projects of this contest and showcases the Mass Customization 2.0 technology.

Mass Customization 2.0

Mass Customization (MC2.0) is a new Photovoltaic manufacturing concept based on cleverly designed semi-fabricates, that will demonstrate how automated manufacturing of Integrated PV (IPV) elements using the mass customization approach can deliver a cost breakthrough in the IPV in the building sector.
