Runaway

Located at the waterfront area of Santa Barbara, Sports’ installation invites communities to view and interact in unexpected ways with their surroundings.

Sports, Runaway, Santa Barbara, 2017

Runaway is the winning pavilion design for the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB) international pavilion competition. Chosen for its bright, playful character, functional modularity, and thoughtful dialogue with Santa Barbara’s local atmosphere, Runaway was installed at the Waterfront area of Santa Barbara, the first of several locations the pavilion will travel to throughout 2017.

Constructed as a matrix of thin steel rods, the pavilion design features three modular objects that can be oriented in a number of ways. Runaway invites communities to view and interact in unexpected ways with their surroundings, and, in doing so, encourages residents as well as artists to consider how contemporary design can activate and energize public spaces.
