Spacebuster Pavilion
Spacebuster Pavilion is a mobile structure that serves as an entirely pavilion. The project is by Raumlabor, which will bring Spacebuster to the US for the first time this April and the structure will travel throughout New York for 10 consecutive evenings hosting various events.
The pavilion is consisted by an inflatable bubble as dome that emerges from its self-contained commpressor housing. The bubble expands and organically fits to its surroundings, be it in a field, a wooden park, or below a highway overpass. The bubble is made of a sturdy translucent plastic, giving opportunity the different events taking place inside the shelter – dance parties, lecture series or dinner exhibitions. The events are entirely visible from the outside environments and become the events’ backdrops.
Each event will be organized by a nonprofit organization, university or art organization. Events will feature artist talks, film screening, communal dinners and many other.
The creator of the bubble is Raumlabor, a group of architects and urban designers based in Berlin, Germany. Raumlabor began working on the issues of contemporary architecture and urbanism in 1999. Raumlabor’s work deals with urban design and planning, architectural design, landscape, buliding interactive environments, research and design of public space and art installations. Their public art installations have been shown in Vienna, Austria, numerous cities in Germany, as well as numerous biennials and exhibition spaces throughout Europe.
