The wish for a clear day. Maj 1104. 2012 ArchTriumph Inflatable Trampoline Design. Public works in architecture are always being proposed, and this year’s 2012 ArchTriumph design contest had some innovative entries– no doubt.
But one that’s caught our eye indefinitely is the Inflatable Trampoline Design from Atelier Zündel Cristea Architecture in France. With a fun and whimsical sounding proposal of a gigantic, inflatable bridge that doubles as a trampoline, it looks like a whole ton of fun– not only to create, but to venture across the Seine River. Japanese Garden Helium Balloon Suspended Bridge. Art based architecture is usually the best kind, and Olivier Grossetête makes architecture look effortless with his helium installations.
The latest happens to be a curiously integrated set of helium-filled balloons that support a suspended bridge. Located in the Tatton Japanese Garden in the UK, this bridge is an elegant combination of gigantic balloons, plank steps and a very artfully draped shape. Titled ‘pont de singe’ this piece of work is a beautiful addition to any portfolio– especially as far is surrealism is concerned.

Located in the municipality of Águeda, Portugal are a whole slew of umbrellas in various colors looming above the streets in a vibrant art installation. Not only do these open umbrellas provide a beautiful scenery to look up at as you’re strolling through the promenade during a sunny day, but they create much appreciated shade and some visually interesting patterns on the floor. The parasols are strung above from wires and their shiny material provides a bit of sheer, colored light to emit through the suspended shades. Art eco door.
