Shoreditch Festival Pavilion 2009

IMG_5564.jpg

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.
