Studio Gang to Construct "Hive" for the National Building Museum's Summer Block Party
Previously home to a beach-like ball pit, a giant maze, and sea of icebergs, this summer the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. will host the ?Hive,? a 60-foot-tall domed structure made up of more than 2,700 individual paper tubes. Designed by Studio Gang, the installation is part of the museum?s Summer Block Party series, which invites architects to fill the building?s historic Great Hall with a temporary, immersive intervention.
