Public Art
Harvest Dome 2.0 was a joint project between an NYC architecture firm, local teens and architecture interns. They are attempting to create a floating illuminated dome made of discarded umbrellas and pop bottles as artwork for a New York waterway.
Public art is great way to upcycle ... this structure was built from over 450 broken umbrellas that they found in trash cans and on the streets around the city.
The Umbrella Sky Project has been in place for the past 2 years from July - September in the city of Águeda, Portugal as part of the local Agitagueda Art Festival.
It was created as a low-cost art installation, and was so successful the first year that pictures went viral on the internet.
