Xafari
Winner of the 2014 Future of Shade competition is Hong Kong-based Architect Tony Leung’s "Xafari" Modular Rainwater Harvesting Pavilion. Noting the way that water beads and rolls off of Sunbrella fabric’s moisture-resistant surfaces, Leung conceived a design with a humanitarian goal: to collect water, the world’s most precious natural resource.

Thirty-three modules can cover a six-foot by six-foot area and also provide shelter. Photo courtesy of Sunbrella®.
