This summer, the National Building Museum will present a new,
interactive installation designed by Studio Gang, an architecture and
urban design practice based in Chicago and New York. Titled
“Hive,” it will be the latest in the Museum’s imaginative Summer
Block Party series of temporary structures inside its historic Great
Hall. Soaring to the uppermost reaches of the Museum, Hive will be
built entirely of more than 2,700 wound paper tubes, a construction
material that is recyclable, lightweight, and renewable. The tubes
vary in size from several inches to 10 feet high and will be
interlocked to create three dynamic interconnected, domed chambers.
Reaching 60 feet tall, the installation’s tallest dome will feature
an oculus over 10 feet in diameter. The tubes feature a reflective
silver exterior and vivid magenta interior, creating a spectacular
visual contrast with the Museum’s historic nineteenth-century
interior and colossal Corinthian columns We will enjoy a one hour,
all-level yoga practice INSIDE the Hive in the Great Hall! Space is
limited. BYO yoga mat. YOUR "THE YOGA HIVE" TICKET INCLUDES ONE FREE
ADMISSION TO THE MUSEUM TO BE USED AT ANYTIME. $20/person
