Sziget Music Festival Pavilion

 

This pavilion is dynamic, and highly reactive to its surroundings. It encourages visitors to affect spatial change and modify the pavilion as they wish; it is a place for relaxation and respite, but also for socializing, performance, and play. It accommodates individuals as well as groups, and the balloons provide shade no matter the location. At all times, the whimsical formal iconicism of the pavilion is a beacon for festival-goers, who will appreciate an evolution in the nature of this pavilion across the hours of the day and night. It is both a colorful playground and a shimmering forest.
