Using DuPont’s Tyvek and repurposing materials from the building industry, we created a beautiful temporary structure for the New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association’s annual NZ International Building Expo & Summit 2024.
‍
The installation was designed to display this year’s Excellence Awards nominations. The nominated projects printed on the sheets of Tyvek spans across the scaffolding bays and drips down creating a smooth catenary curve, sheltering a open social gathering space hosting the opening ceremony of the event.
‍
Our goal was to make the structure as light and sustainable as possible, using rented items that can be reused. We chose scaffolding as the framework fo it’s convenience to assemble and disassemble, and adaptivity for repurpose and reusing for future construction projects. The Tyvek sheets will will also be repurposed at the Christchurch event later this year.
