Urban Carnival

The concept involves creating a modular system of paper tube structures and connectors, designed to enable straightforward assembly and disassembly, with careful consideration given to the material’s mobility. By integrating smaller diameter tubes into larger ones, the aim is to maximize space utilization and improve portability. Ultimately, the envisioned outcome is a space that evolves into a dynamic platform for performances. The Urban Carnival initiative offers a dedicated space for roadside acrobats to showcase their talents, providing them with opportunities for improved livelihood. The design system includes safety nets and ensures a secure environment for performances. Additionally, it addresses road safety laws that prohibit such activities on roads. Special attention is given to activities like flame-throwing acrobatics, which may pose risks if performed in residential areas, ensuring they are conducted safely and responsibly.
