Here are some images of an inflatable concert hall designed by architect Arata Isozaki and artist Anish Kapoor to tour parts of Japan affected by the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year. Once complete, the mobile Ark Nova pavilion will stage music and dance performances for victims of the disaster.
The red stretchy skin of the hall is modelled on Kapoor’s orb-like Leviathan sculptures. The venue will seat between 500 and 700 spectators and is designed to enable quick erection and dismantling. The Lucerne Festival in Switzerland initiated the project, alongside music management agency Kajimoto.
