What would you do if you happen to have 1,500 hula-hoops and 12,000 zip-ties around? Apparently, mass studies architecture studio decided to make a massive dome by using thousand hula-hoops zip-tied together. Fantastic creativity and who said architecture was dead?

last fall, mass studies architecture studio created a temporary installation for the 25th anniversary of storefront for art and architecture gallery in New York city. the installation was created from about a thousand hula-hoops zip-tied together to form a massive dome structure.

now, storefront for art and architecture gallery has teamed up with abitare magazine to bring a new version of the ring dome to Milan for the salone del mobile. this new dome will use 1,500 hula-hoops and 12,000 zip-ties and will be installed in the galleria Vittorio Emanuele shopping arcade in central milan. the installation will feature a series of events including a 100-minute dialogue between Hans Ulrich Obrist, Pierre Paulin and Rem Koolhaas as well as a day’s worth of domino-interviews with 50 participants, starting with Naoto Fukasawa, Gaetano Pesce and Oliviero Toscani.
