Ark nova inflatable concert hall
'Ark nova', the world’s first inflatable concert hall, will soon
tour areas of Japan that were devastated in the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami. Designed by british sculptor Anish Kapoor and japanese architect Arata Isozaki,
the mobile structure will host world-class concerts, workshops, and
both traditional and contemporary performance as part of the Lucerne Festival Ark Nova. The balloon-like architecture is stationed in Matsushima city, which is
still healing after being struck by the natural disaster, and the team
behind its creation hopes to deliver encouragement and positivity in the
form of music. The temporary structure holds about 500 people, whose
luminescent purple walls create a billowing interior fitted with
handcrafted benches and a stage. Take a look at designboom's coverage of
the creative development, process sketches, and initial renderings of
the project.
