Pavilion
New York City

A regularized steel frame encloses a colorful forest of taut rubber tubing. The architecture itself vibrates, as you pluck and stretch it out of shape. With enough movement, the entire structure blurs out of focus. The visitor is invited to input their own energy into the system, watching how a single tube transmits its motion to surrounding elements. You can immerse yourself in the architecture, bouncing on rubber seats or leaning your body into the rippling walls. Heavy sliding doors at each entry make even the metal structure interactive.

In collaboration with Rebecca Book, Hansong Cho, Jiapei Li, Caitlin Magill, Abraham Murrell, Eugene Ong, Edward Palka, and Ge Zhao
