2009. lightbox lite
the art fund pavilion. architecture competition.
with welland sin, jennifer thorogood

Prefab...circus tents...yikes. As far as innovative goes, we’ve been there done that. The Lightbox deserves better. A litehearted summer pavilion, lightbox lite takes the best features of the museum and brings them together in a playful, ephemeral experience. A one-fifth scale inflatable of the original Lightbox, the pavilion includes spaces for work and bounce (play), glowing at night to mark the innovative museum. Adaptable spaces? Quick assembly? Night Presence? No problem. Lightbox Lite is there for you.

The inflatable ETFE walls and floors, supported with FACIT panels make for easy assembly, disassembly, and storage. A few people will do the trick, the rest comes naturally with an inflatable structure.

Its simple. Plug in. Inflate. Enjoy.
