# Plastic Infinity-Inspired Structures The London Peace Pavilion is Shaped Like the Infinity Symbol By M | Published 2013-05-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-pavilion References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/azc-peace-pavilion-in-london/) & [zundelcristea](http://www.zundelcristea.com/?lang=en) Made entirely out of plastic, London's [Peace Pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softblock-rug) stands a strikingly grandiose and unconventional piece of architecture in the midst of the grassy Bethnal Green Museum Gardens. The Peace Pavilion is shaped as a perfectly balanced 3D figure-eight infinity symbol. Made entirely out of white PVC plastic, the tube-like body of the figure-eight intertwines to create a dynamic and visually stimulating design from every angle. Over top is a clear mesh-like canopy that cocoons over the plastic body's structure. The shape of the Peace Pavilion resembles the body of a slithering snake and makes for a great play structure for children to climb. The Peace Pavilion is elegant, compelling and a metropolitan element in the midst of the greenery of the Bethnal Gardens.
