Snarkitecture’s “Beach” Balls Arrive in Tampa

“The Beach” ball pit is back. On Friday, the Snarkitecture-designed installation opened in a new location—Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla.—for a three-week run of the interactive exhibition that debuted in Washington, D.C., last summer. The Beach Tampa, the first installation in a tour of the exhibition, contains almost twice as many translucent plastic balls as the first one at the National Building Museum. (These are new balls, however; the originals were used in another site-specific installation a few months ago.) Amalie Arena sent ARCHITECT pictures of the new installation.

The Beach Tampa runs from Aug. 5 through 25. Admission is free. Tickets are available here.
