The MicroNature Pavilion officially open to public at the much-anticipated Design Shanghai / Xintiandi Design Festival 2022, an annual art event which aims to promote public art and forging connections within the historical urban center in Shanghai.

Located at the threshold in-between city’s old town and new developments, this installation by Atelier Ping Jiang I EID Arch creates a futuristic, canyon-like void within a 10x10x10’ geometric cube. 

Conceived as an abstract MicroNature in urban setting, this pure cubic outer shell with an organic, curvilinear inner void, represents the juxtaposition of artificial and natural elements, the mixture of rationality and sensibility. It articulates the contrast between nature and artificiality. It offers visitors an immersive experience to discover the inner void that reveals a sense of wonder and mystery.

An open apparatus for visitors to explore its multiple spatial definitions in their own ways, MicroNature is parametrically designed and digitally fabricated with PLA, providing an urban furniture for visitors to reflect on the city’s past, present and future.
