I no longer regard myself as Londoner. Maybe, if I went back in time to when I was 15, I could legitimately say I was, but times have swiftly changed and so has my mothers wishes.

So over the weekend, I found myself back in my home city. Whilst roaming around I went to visit the Rainforest Pavillion on Bedford Square.

Note that all these pictures were taken on my iPhone as my camera battery died. :(((



Set just outside The AA school, The rainforest pavilion by Chilean-German architects GUN, is a five metre jungle of inverted prisms. Designed to create the humidity of a rainforest, the pavilion is based on a previous project entitled Water Cathedral. Their ongoing research sees the relationship between architecture and geographical conditions and this pavilion in particular is that of Chilean's dynamic climate. As part of London Architecture Festival, a pavilion is installed in front of the Architecture Association (AA school) each year and this year was my first time seeing their installation.

At first, I was a little apprehensive to see drapes of fabric, but to tell you the truth. I loved it. With incredible precision, the structure gently drips water and has been recalled as an oasis in the centre of London, it's so refreshing to see. You should definitely check this out. A Great place for dreamers to read, sit and just contemplate about how beautiful life is.
And It's here all summer long!
