This tensegrity pavilion features 99 inflated “pillows” of steel, connected via steel cables, and held in place with crimped connections. The dome shape, coupled with a perimeter tension ring, allow the entire structure to float in a state of constant hanging. The pillows were assembled flat on the ground. When lifted via specific pick-points, the shape snapped into place. A wood bench was designed specifically to conceal the foundations and provide a place to relax. The project took one day to lift into place, dynamically creating a voluminous space.
