French architect Cyril Lancelin of Town & Concrete has envisioned a humongous pyramid installation made up of hundreds of pink balloons in various sizes. The conceptual pavilion will be an immersive experience in which visitors are permitted to interact, play and bounce around. “The holes are slightly sloped, making it difficult to climb the center, but it offers a challenge,” Lancelin told designboom. “These openings allow you to have a view on the outside from the pyramid and the pyramid also becomes transparent from the outside.”
