From Information provided by Kew Gardens:
"Opened on International Biodiversity Day 2008, the Treetop Walkway stands in the Arboretum, between the Temperate House and the lake. It was designed by Marks Barfield Architects, who also designed the London Eye. The 18-metre high, 200-metre walkway enables visitors to walk around the crowns of lime, sweet chestnut and oak trees. Supported by rusted steel columns that blend in with the natural environment, it provides opportunities for inspecting birds, insects, lichen and fungi at close quarters, as well as seeing blossom emerging and seed pods bursting open in spring. The walkway’s structure is based on a Fibonacci numerical sequence, which is often present in nature’s growth patterns."
Kumu is an art museum in Tallinn, Estonia. The museum is the largest one in the Baltics and one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe.

ELYTRA, Filament Pavilion
18 May - 6 November, 2016
Elytra is a responsive shelter. A robot will build new components of the structure on the site, allowing the canopy to grow over the course of the V&A Engineering Season. Your presnce in the pavilion today will be captured by sensors in the canopy and ultimately will affect how and where the structure grows.
The pavilion tests a possible future for architectural and engineering design, exploring how new robotics technologies might transform how buildings are designed and built. The design draws on research into lighhtweight construction principles found in nature. It is inspired by the filament structures of the shells of flying beetles, know as elytra.
Made of glass and carbon fibre, each component is produced using robotic winding technique developed by the designers. Unlike other fabrication methods, this does not require moulds and can produce an infinite variety of spun shapes, while reducing wate to a minimum. This unique method of fabrication integrates the process of design and making.
Like beetle elytra, the structure is both strong and very light. The pavilion's entire filament stutcure weighs less than 2.5 tonnes - equivalent to 1.4 by 1.4 m squared prortion of the V&A's wall around you.
Part of the V&A Engineering Season.

“'Miss Blanche' chair, 1988
SHIRO KURAMATA
Roses floating in transparent resin give this chair a dream-like, insubstantial appearance. It is named after the fragile character of Blanche DuBois, from Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire.
Shiro Kuramata's design expresses Blanche's increasingly unstable sense of reality in a tragic story shot through with beauty and delusion, seduction and violence.

From the Guardian Newspaper 12 June 2016:
"The pavilion itself, supported by Goldman Sachs, stands, as usual, next to the Serpentine Gallery’s building, a brief walk through Kensington Gardens from the summer houses. It is made of hollow rectangular tubes, open at the ends, made of thin fibreglass sheets, which are then stacked up into a twisting shape that is at different times tent-like, mountainous, anatomical and churchy. It revels in inversion and surprise: its components are brick-like but light; they are straight-lined and right-angled, but generate curves in their stacking. A one-dimensional vertical line at each end grows from a 2D plane into a 3D swelling. From some positions, you can look straight through the boxes to the greenery beyond, such that they almost disappear. From others, they present blank flanks and the building becomes solid. It is mechanical and organic, filtering and editing the surroundings as if through the leaves of a pixellated tree.
It is designed by BIG, or Bjarke Ingels Group, a name that cleverly combines the initials of its 41-year-old founder and leader with the alternative custom of choosing names that carry some sort of meaning (OMA, the late lamented FAT, muf, Assemble). The latter is supposed to deflect attention away from individuals towards something more general: “BIG” is universal and personal at once, none too subtle in its meaning and statement of ambition and has the added attraction that the original Danish practice can call its website big.dk.
The name encapsulates Ingels’s genius, which is to combine the avant-garde trappings of an OMA with a happy-to-be-trashy flagrancy, an embrace of the values of marketing, a celebration of ego. “What I like about architecture,” he says, “is that it is literally the science of turning your fantasy into reality.” His approach has earned BIG the mistrust, awe and envy of fellow professionals, the adulation of many students and a 300-strong practice with offices in Copenhagen, New York and, as revealed in an announcement coinciding with the Serpentine launch, London.
