Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
SANDBOXING is a pavilion/game designed by Quilian Riano (DSGN AGNC) for the New Cities Future Ruins** convening in Dallas, TX in which players are asked to playfully negotiate two key resources for the future of the southwestern city: land (sand) and water. This all happens in a pavilion, installed in Old East Dallas’ Jubilee Park, made up of a sandbox designed to change as players negotiate space and a structural dew-catcher canopy — a passive system used in arid climates to extract water particles from the atmosphere. Without any outcome prescribed, players are left to make the choices of sharing collectively or further restricting access to ever diminishing resources.
