Designed and constructed by students in the Spring 2022 seminar “The Outside Project”, WEB is a temporary pavilion consisting of an inflatable structure and a collection of custom furniture installed at Columbia University’s Avery Plaza. in each of its seven feet, WEB sustains its form with the help of four blowers and seven feet, each anchored using a network of ropes and carabiners attached to adjacent buildings and weighted ballasts. The formal configuration creates contrast between the campus’s existing fabric and its new inflatable counterpart.
