We just awarded a Pavilion for Children's Play!

The architects at UNITEDLAB Associates intended to provide an installation work that children can play with their body in the outdoor exhibition spaces. The team designed a playing art with fresh, vibrant colors; Pink and White.

The Cloud Forests is an installation that caters to people of different generations, so all ages can appreciate its design; Adults living around enjoy it as an art object, and children play with it.

The installation is mainly composed of three materials: pink flexible height bars, white balloons, and aluminum wires.

What else is unique about this project? It had a very low budget of just $4000! Read all about it at internationalarchitectureawards.com
