Meet paulinevandongen, featured at this yearβs Secrid Talent Podium. She is pioneering the future of sustainable architecture with her innovative creation, SUNTEX, a lightweight textile embedded with solar cells. Designed for diverse use, from building facades to festival tents, and canopies, SUNTEX transforms surfaces into energy-generating spaces. Through her work, Pauline challenges the traditional approach to solar energy, offering architects and designers an aesthetic, flexible alternative to bulky solar panels. Her designs find themselves at the intersection of sustainability, beauty, and energy efficiency, making solar energy an integral part of our living environments.
