Interactive environment is up in the air

Rachely Rotem Studio and Phu Hoang Office together have won the SHIFTboston Barge 2011 competition to design an interactive environment on a barge in Boston’s Fort Point Channel. Entitled “Lighter than Air”, the winning design is comprised of 3-D camouflage netting held up by helium-filled weather balloons to transform the barge into a “pop-up” public space.
