DUS Architects' 'Unlimited Urban Woods' is a public art installation designed to bring city folk closer to nature. This unassuming white box secretly houses a forest that never ends!
Okay, so the Unlimited Urban Woods isn't actually some magical forest in a white box. It is actually a single tree and a lot of mirrors. The mirrors give the appearance that visitors are in a never-ending forest. This installation was recently in Amsterdam, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it makes its way across the pond one day.
