Marjan van Aubel has designed a set of stained glass-style solar panels that will form part of the Dutch pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, these lightweight plastic modules can simultaneously generate solar power and let tinted daylight pass through.
“They’re beautiful and relevant,” Marjan van Aubel said in her live interview with Dezeen CEO Marcus Fairs for VDF. “It will really change perspectives”.
Attractive sustainable technology is the way to effect change, insists Van Aubel. “We’re not going to change the world with ugly things,” she told Dezeen
The solar designer teased the “secret project” she was working on in her video chat on 20 May. This week it was revealed that her cutting-edge and colourful panels will be a key part of the Dutch Biotope pavilion.
