Cherry blossom inspires the parabolic forms of this pavilion
Visitors can shelter beneath the overlapping petals of this pavilion in Taiwan, which is inspired by cherry blossoms and made with parabolic forms.
The lightweight temporary structure, designed by Marc Fornes, principal of NYC firm THEVERYMANY, is installed in a public park in Taichung City. It riffs on the organic undulating forms of white and pink yīng huā, or cherry blossom, but it is made with thin-shell aluminium, which nods to the park’s wider industrial surroundings.
