Architect Michiel Raaphorst (V8 architects) on solar energy and designs to solve scarcity problems

Together with solar designer Marjan van Aubel architect Michiel Raaphorst designed the Solar Pavilion for the 2022 Dutch Design Week. A huge brightly coloured installation shaped like a giant beach chair showed both the power and beauty of solar energy. Together with other artists they also worked on The Netherlands pavilion during the World Expo in Dubai in 2021. "We wanted to find a solution for scarcity of water, energy and food. How can we make a liveable environment in the middle of the desert?"
