german creative collective raumlaborberlin has designed an indoor/outdoor installation for the 4th european month of photography in berlin. located at the heart of the festival at the berlinische galerie, ‘soft solution’ consists of an inflated, grid-like space seemingly extruding out of the building’s structure. resembling a puffy oversized jungle gym, the design of the outdoor component aims to initiate a spatial conversation between it and the interior: while soft, pneumatic and ephemeral on the exterior, the interior treatment is hard and edged. through this contrast, the viewers engage with the two different spaces and experience the tension of original vs. copy, metamorphosis vs. reflection.

How appropriate. Cool. Now we just need tent manufacturers to give us inflatable frames. Great thinking Raumlabor Berlin d’-)
Did you deduce that it was a giant balloon toy from their concept sketch or did you figure that out all by yourself? they are clearly not trying to disguise their playfulness and I love that about raumlabor berlin.
No! its just a giant balloon toy – sorry folks lets get real
