The MANAL pavilion stands as a landmark project that unites innovative construction stakeholders and academic partners and highlights the required cooperation to incorporate new ideas and products into the construction industry. Furthermore, the MANAL pavilion serves as a case study which is included in the Innosuisse research project “Think Earth” and enables monitoring and data collection for research purposes.
The principal construction materials employed consist of materials produced with Oxara admixture and binder technologies. The foundation will be made of Cleancrete Oulesse, the vertical elements are a combination of load-bearing Cleancrete Nossim walls and Cleanbrick Loko pillars. The roof structure is made of Cleanbrick Loko arches and vaults, upon which a timber finish will be placed.
