Cardboard Pavilion "Get High Without Drugs" Wins FabFest Prize
Quirky, innovative and visceral, Get High without Drugs was awarded first place in the fabrication category at this year?s International Fabrication Festival (FabFest) in London.Â
Quirky, innovative and visceral, Get High without Drugs was awarded first place in the fabrication category at this year?s International Fabrication Festival (FabFest) in London. Mollusk-like and mysterious from the outside, the form of the pavilion emerges from the combination of a zonohedron and a dome. Seventy-two hexagonal surfaces were formulated into fold-able nets that could then be digitally fabricated from flat-sheets and assembled into load-bearing modules. A puzzle-like routine drove the assembly of the modules into the pavilion?s dome-like form.

Each module was constructed using corrugated cardboard and a reflective film lines the interior, turning the space into a kaleidoscope, and reflecting, warping and distorting what?s going on around it. The visual illusions and disorientation generated by the interior space engaged visitors in a colorful and diverse experience, altering their perspective of the outside world. The ever-changing colors and surrounds meant each visitor had a unique and unrepeatable experience.
