In April 2017, the National Building Museum of Washington D.C. revealed their plans for a new interactive installation that will be constructed for the summer.

Designed by the architecture and urban design practice Studio Gang, the installation, entitled Hive, will be the latest in the museum’s series of temporary structures inside its historic Great Hall.

Hive will be constructed entirely of over 2,700 wound-paper tubes which will vary in size from several inches to 10 ft high. These tubes will be interlocked to create three dynamic interconnected, domed chambers.

Reaching a height of 60 ft, the installation will fill the Great Hall, and the tallest dome will feature an oculus measuring over 10 ft in diameter.

The paper material will be recyclable, lightweight and renewable, and will feature a reflective silver exterior and vivid magenta interior. This colouring will attempt to create a spectacular visual contrast with the 19th century Corinthian columns inside the museum.
