We decided to use the “pool floaties” because it is lightweight and pliable. Our team explored various uses and methodology to create an outdoor public space.

Components We used ropes to fasten the floaties to the building and trees and zip ties to fasten the floaties to each other.

Methodology Ropes strung from the building facade to the trees were carefully tensioned to form a light structure for the canopy.
