Connecting people during this year’s World Economic Forum
The Icon is a space dedicated to the regenerative economy, showcasing the future of modular, sustainable construction. It is equipped with technologies geared towards the future of high-speed charging stations for electric mobility, associated social hubs, edge data, and biophilic design principles.
The Icon's primary focus is to provide the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its partners with a space to discuss topics such as ocean conservation, the authenticity of global media in the AI era, the protection of the Amazon and the biosphere, large-scale integration of climate data, and global health research.
The 180 m² modular pavilion uses natural materials, is fully insulated, naturally ventilated, and built with locally sourced Swiss timber. Its untreated wooden shingles develop a natural patina, and removable screw piles preserve the terrain.
