The ‘I Live with Nature’ garden has won the Grand Gold Award, the highest award available, at the 2024 Greater Bay Area Flower Show in Shenzen, China. The show garden, designed by Jo Thompson, includes our intricate brick pavilion at its center created using Augmented Reality technology and self-balancing mechanics without any site survey, construction drawings or in-person training of the Chinese-only speaking contractor. We designed, analyzed and determined the construction of the pavilion is less than 3 months. This project underscores the Form Finding’s Lab commitment to integrating innovative technology with natural and urban environments.

Motivated by the need to combat coastal flooding, we re-invented pressurized thin-wall structures as an alternative to existing large-scale rigid solid seawalls.
