"Urban Canopy" is a project that was made at The Bartlett School of Architecture and won the 1st prize for the Installation and Prototyping summer course.
This group project was created as a response to a task entitled "Nature, Sound and Shelter". Made of bent wood, thin flat metal rods as well as recycled plastic cups, using two wooden clamps, it attaches to anywhere in the urban space: a bench, sign post, railing… The design serves the purpose of temporary sheltering in the public realm, creates sounds when the rain hits the canopy, and disperses colour when the light of the sun passes through it.
The Urban Canopy was designed with Fiona C., Akezhan Y., Suphawit S. and Max C.
