Aquapolis Aquapolis 900 large-format PET water bottles (18-20L industrial containers) transformed into architecture in 4 days. X-shaped components connect bottles at rotational angles, creating catenary vault geometry where structure and enclosure merge. Multiple intersecting arches distribute compressive forces through columnar bottle stacks, with entrance openings created where arches meet. The modular system enables repeated assembly at different locations. Blue PET creates chromatic light filtration with variable transparency through stacking density—concentrated clusters to single-layer sections. The pavilion provides workshop and public space where individual bottles remain recognizable as reusable building blocks within the larger structure. dimensions: 853 m material: 5l and 20l PET water bottles weight: extreme lightweight construction type: cross-frame/dome method: twist-lock
