022 LIFT
Inspired by international initiatives such as Doctors Without Borders, and travelling forms of entertainment such as the circus, 'LiftNewParliament' is a mobile pavilion designed to bring art and entertainment to distant communities not served by centralized cultural institutions. Easy to transport and install, the structure is characterized by its coverage—an inflatable silver ring that rests on its own transportation containers—and can accommodate many different events, such as meetings, art exhibitions, and theatre performances.

Ispirandosi alle iniziative internazionali per gli aiuti umanitari, come Medici Senza Frontiere, e alle forme di spettacolo itinerante come il circo, 'LiftNewParliament' è un padiglione mobile concepito per portare arte e intrattenimento presso comunità distanti, non servite da istituzioni centralizzate. Facile da trasportare e installare, la struttura è caratterizzata dalla copertura – un anello gonfiabile argentato che poggia sui container utilizzati per il trasporto – e può ospitare all’interno diverse attività, come incontri, esposizioni artistiche, rappresentazioni teatrali.
