Kunsthülle LPL Temporary Installation in Liverpool by OSA

Inspired by the regeneration of Liverpool, the "Kunsthülle LPL" from OSA Architecture alludes to the industrial heritage of this former factory complex and surrounding buildings. Liverpool's architectural landscape combines a large-scale World Heritage Site, decrepit buildings and a variety of renovations, refurbishments and new builds. The feeling of growth is palpable and the "Kunsthülle LPL" aims to engage audiences in a wider debate about the built environment.

The "Kunsthülle LPL" responds to the shifting environment, with changes in light and wind playing across the curtains, creating a dynamic and lively character. Its translucent skin acts as a beacon that links the arts centre to the city, offering a space for talks and discussions with fantastic views to the river Mersey and Liverpool.

The installation consists of a pavilion structure that divides the rooftop into two terraced spaces – the "City-" and "Merseyside" – that are lined with green hedges. A permeable membrane allows visitors to walk from one zone to another, passing through a curtain that flexes and warps.
