Never would I have looked at a LZR Racers wet suit and thought to construct a Speedo Swim Suit Pavilion out of them. That's why I'm not an architect, because I don't think outside of the box the way two students from the Chelsea College of Art & Design did.
A structure that is as aesthetically impressive as it is materially, the Speedo Swim Suit Pavilion is certainly a marvel. Stretched and pulled in every direction, it not only provides sweet shade, it also jazzes up the place.
