WEB, designed and constructed in the Spring 2022 seminar "The Outside Project," is an inflatable pavilion installed at Columbia University's Avery Plaza. Touching the ground at just seven points, it evokes a sense of organic intrigue.
Composed of 1010 patches in blue and white, WEB undulates like an organism. Supported by ropes, carabiners, and blowers, it contrasts sharply with the campus’s architecture. By day, it glows with natural light; by night, LEDs reverse its effect, inviting introspective exploration of architecture's possibilities.
