Foam-Connected Canopies

This Pavilion Titled 'UNBUILT' Uses Bright Pink Blocks to Connect the Rods

The 'Harvard GSD' group of five architecture students created this whimsical pavilion titled 'UNBUILT,' which stands at the entrance of Design Miami. This unique structure is a beautiful piece of art and architecture, which is more of an open-roofed canopy than a pavilion.

The structure stands out with the use of bright pink blocks that connect the vertical and horizontal rods. Using this design concept, 'UNBUILT' resembles a blueprint or hand-drawn sketch of the pavilion.

The rods are made from metal, while the pink blocks are made from foam. There is a total of 200 pink blocks that present a bright and playful contrast against the typically blue Miami sky. The pavilion is described to look like a scattered constellation from a distance, while up close the details are extremely notable.
