TSPA participated in the Opportunity Space design-build competition organized by the Van Alen Institute. This competition challenged multidisciplinary teams to propose a temporary, mobile structure aimed at supporting economic opportunity and social inclusion in Malmö, Sweden.
Our entry, OPPO, is an inflatable, helium-filled balloon made of translucent polyurethane, designed in the shape of a torus. Its lighter-than-air nature allows it to float gracefully in the night sky of Malmö. During the day, when events are held, OPPO is lowered to the ground to serve as a vibrant meeting space. The simplicity and visibility of this structure invite people to visit the site.
For a full presentation of the project, please see our projects page.
