NEED

The architectural program included a large decorative piece that gave access to the water park, a large sculpture that evoked the iconic motorized orange balloon used by Nickelodeon “BLIMP” as a brand reference. However, it still required a complex design and solution development to realize this great idea.

PROCESS

The main study factors were the dimension, modulation and position of the piece, a structure had to be designed with the capacity and safety to be mounted in cantilever with the necessary firmness and supported by a precise calculation, manufacturing logistics, transportation, assembly and finally, that the aesthetics of the object were not compromised and endorsed by rigorous reviews by the Nickelodeon Experience Design (NED) team.

OUTCOME

Finally, it was possible to conceive an aesthetic design that allowed us to manufacture pieces modulated by the radial symmetry that emerges from the shape of the piece; We manufacture special structures in the fiberglass workshop to make a large mold and achieve the continuity of these large complex curved surfaces, as well as to manufacture the structure in a modular way that does not complicate the assembly and that could support this huge iconic piece.
