SUPEROBJECT ARCH
Superobject Arch, Mother of the Nation Festival, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 2022
Team: Office Kovacs
Project Description:
A lemon, a house, a building, a popcorn container, a balloon, and a box are rendered at different scales, then stacked, twisted, and connected to form an arch over a pedestrian path.
Built for the Mother of the Nation Festival in Abu Dhabi, Superobject Arch turns six familiar objects into a 25-foot-tall architectural sculpture. Variations in yellow, tone, and texture unite the collection while keeping each object recognizable. Visitors pass through a composition of everyday things made colossal.
