RIBA Flower shower installation at the Bristol Harbour Festival 2015

DHV Architects and Karena Batstone Design are preparing an exciting landscape art installation at the RIBA City Green. Plants in recycled milk bottles will be connected to a scaffolding structure to create a flower shower. Sofas made from hay bales will invite visitors to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the festival and enjoy a green solar tea which will be made with a kettle powered by solar panels. The RIBA City Green is an interactive city square at the Bristol Harbour Festival (from 17 - 19. July) with exhibition space, family activities and workshops. Come and help us to set the Guinness world record for the world's largest colouring in book (5x2.2m). The book will contain 20 different images of Bristol by several Bristol artists.
