Shoreditch Festival Pavilion 2009
A living green pavilion with biological membranes made from loops specially designed for the Shoreditch Festival 2009.
Commissioned and in collaboration with the
Shoreditch Trust - the award winning Festival hosted the first living green pavilion fabricated by local volunteers.
Food producing climbing plants started their life growing around a woven looped structure to create a temporary space and shelter. The festival space was later disassembled and planted in various urban sites such as local housing estates, restaurants and vacant lots as more permanent vertical gardens.
