We were extremely happy to recognise the balloon pavilion by Worapan Klampaiboon in Thailand, a much more complicated object than it seems, because its carefully designed joints have to cope with ever varying winds and currents, yet make a calm white plane hover from its colourful supports. It really does, as Klampaiboon suggests, 'make the heart beat faster'. Architect: WKA Architects Worapan Klampaiboon and Pitch Trichasai Tel: / Email: |
