‘made of floating aluminium, drifting freely between the trees like smoke… its appearance changes according to the weather, allowing it to melt into the surroundings. no walls, it extends uninterrupted across the park with access from all sides. it is a sheltered extension of the park where people can read, relax and enjoy lovely summer days.’ -SANAA
