The Tanghe River Park, located in Qinhuangdao, China, features a new installation of red steel that stretches for 500 meters along the riverbank.
The Red Ribbon project integrates a boardwalk, lighting, seating, environmental interpretation, and environmental orientation. It is made of fiber steel, and lit from inside so that it glows red at night.
Four pavilions in the shape of clouds are distributed along the ribbon, which provide protection from the weather, meeting opportunities, and visual focal points.
A magnificent contribution is going to steal the show of art and culture by this month. ‘Ring Dome’ in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Milan is going to get presented by the New York art and architecture gallery Storefront for Art and Architecture. This is a huge pavilion that is going to host a series of events featuring Naoto Fukasawa, Rem Koolhaas, Gaetano Pesce, Oliviero Toscani and others. The organiser is none other than Storefront itself in collaboration with Italian architecture and design magazine Abitare. The organisers will appear in Milan for the 2008 Furniture Fair, which is going to be held from 16th April to 21st April. It is here that one can see the new version of the Ring Dome pavilion by the Korean architect Minsuk Cho of Mass Studies. Minsuk Cho is the same designer who built of hula hoops in New York last autumn to celebrate Storefront’s 25th anniversary.
Giant Nut-Like Pavilion Lands on London’s Bedford Square

Designed by Alan Dempsey and Alvin Huang, this design was the winning entry from Architectural Associations Design Research Lab for a new pavilion to be built in Bedford Square, London. Though the thing looks more like a giant nut of some kind, we love its origami-like mesh surfaces which frankly would make it very breezy friendly unless the designers have invested in some kind of solid weather proofing system for it. The cookie-dough like thing sits pretty right in the middle of the square and proves to be a real challenge to your diet-tormented soul!
