Ripple Pavilion by Atelier Chang is an annual outdoor installation at Gyeongnam Art Museum in South Korea. It features thousands of acrylic tubes with mechanical joints, forming an interactive canopy that responds to visitors’ movements, creating a ripple effect. The design maximizes interaction with a double-curved geometry, refined through parametric modeling and collaboration. Dichroic film on the tubes enhances the visual impact, producing varying colors and light effects that change with movement and light angles, making the pavilion a dynamic environment that transforms with user engagement.
