Yeast Pavilion
Yeast Pavilion multifunctional area, which provides a resting spot for walkers, as well as a greenhouse for plants. The pavilion is designed to utilize yeast’s ability to produce carbon dioxide from sugar. The pavilion is a biodegradable pneumatic structure which is inflated by the CO2, which is produced when sugar is poured into the yeast and water below. In order to inflate inhabitant participation is required in the pouring of the sugar, the pavilion is then activated and enjoyed by the inhabitants.

Scientific Name - Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Yeast are egg-shaped eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
Habitat –
Yeast are commonly found on plant leaves, flowers, fruits and in soil. They are also found on the surface of the skin and in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, where they may live symbiotically or as parasites.
Purpose –
The most common strain of yeast, S. cerevisiae is used in the fermentation of foods such as bread and the production of alcohol. The yeast is given fermentable sugars then converts this to carbon dioxide, and ethanol. In the fermentation of alcoholic drinks, yeast converts the glucose to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide gas which gives the drink its alcohol content and carbonation. In bread making, yeast converts fermentable sugars present in dough into carbon dioxide, which produces gas pockets and causes the dough to expand.
