Pavilion E4, developed by Juan Gavilanes Veláz de Medrano and Ferrán Ventura Blanch, adapts to the environment while conditioning and regenerating the place, integrating the new project into the surrounding green space. In addition, it includes Artificial Intelligence technologies applied to architecture, air conditioning systems and pavilion monitoring to achieve user comfort while maintaining climate control. The pavilion developed from a research project, also aims to be the basis for future research.
From the main entrance, you access the central area of the open space connected to the grandstand space, with a series of steps; a secondary space related to the main one; and a children's area, connected to an outdoor game's area through a smaller access than the principal.

Description of project by Juan Gavilanes Veláz de Medrano, Ferrán Ventura Blanch
Pavilion E4. Efficient Outdoor Educational Space (E4), is a research project of the University of Malaga to provide it with a replicable avant-garde classroom that allows teaching abroad. Halfway between an outdoor space and a cutting-edge classroom, through the definition of its architectural form and geometry, which includes parametric design, with the optimized support of air conditioning systems for a classroom integrated into a Campus Green Island of Teatinos of the University of Malaga.
This new space can: Understand its environment and work with it collaboratively; allow the conditioning and obtaining of comfortable conditions of the space; be able to define the air conditioning systems necessary for the operation of the E4; the application of Artificial Intelligence technologies for application in architecture; monitoring the space for climate and use control. The pavilion is not only born from a research project but once built it aims to serve as support for future research.
