The world’s first inflatable concert hall is all set to debut this weekend, hosting a number of special events in northeastern island of Honshu Japan, the region devastated by 2011’s quáke and t§unámi.
The extraordinary purple and red structure, which can hold around 500 people, was the idea of Lucerne Festival’s artistic and executive director Michael Haefliger, who worked with British artist and sculptor Anish Kapoor and Japanese architect Arata Isozaki to make it a reality.
Comprising a coated polyester material, Ark Nova, which is 18 meters high and 35 meters wide, can be quickly deflated, allowing for easy transportation to other locations.
