By • March 24, 2016 0 690
New York-based design studio Hou de Sousa (as in Jia Min Nancy Hou and Josh de Sousa) submitted the winning entry in the competition for the inaugural Dupont Underground installation, “Re-Ball!”
In their plan, several hundred thousand plastic balls from the National Building Museum’s “Beach” will be glued together to form about 18,000 blocks. These will become building blocks for several environments, including a cave, a grove and a government complex. The installation, on a platform in the abandoned trolley station under Dupont Circle, will be accessible by reservation only from April 30 to June 1.
