Crystal Pool
Crystal Plaza | Pingjiaqiao Road | Shanghai | China
 
Crystal pool is a public space project design to attract kids and adults alike. It is a temporary installation inspired in the Shanghai summer vibes.
 
The project was commissioned with the objective of supporting the grand opening of Crystal Plaza mix use complex in Pudong, Shanghai.
 
 

---

Its design is conceptualized as water dropping down the big stairs creating a pool in the plaza.
Conceptually the water drops solidify becoming seating features with triangular shading structures, transforming the stairs into a tribune toward the main plaza where the crystal pool is located.
 
 

---

At the main plaza, the pool is intercepted by an obstacle course creating many sub areas and activities for the public space.
 
 

---

The interception of those elements results into an interesting urban landscape and a colorful circuit of events that provide entertainment for parents and kids as well as sitting and lighting features for youngsters and families to enjoy in the public space.
