Pavillion 1:1 | Education | Urban Gardening
Intervention Award Berlin 2013

Flexible cubes designed to transform into playscapes, shelves, flowerpots and chairs were built out of PVC recycled expo signs. The bamboo roof structures were secured through knots made from recycled hose and were designed to collect water that was used to irrigate flowerpots. This project was one out of five nominated projects for Urban
