Visitors to the 5th annual International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam were treated to a fun crash course in architecture in the form of the Bubble Building. The Bubble Building was created by DUS Architects and is comprised of 16 hexagonal mirroring ponds submerged in soap. The structure can only be built through human interaction, with the lifting of the hexagonal frames bringing it to life.
The soap that the frames were submerged in was powerful enough to support a person, leading to some hilarious scenes of people being stuck inside of the soapy structure. The playful pavilion was open to the public for three weeks as part of the city’s International Architecture Biennial. While the pavilion was meant to be for fun and games, it isn’t hard (now) to imagine an entire house being built from bubbles.
