At the 2023 Seattle Design Festival, Rolluda Architects, BNBuilders, and ABC Imaging invited the community into the Oasis of Curiosity, an accessible, vibrant pavilion designed to spark wonder, play, and community connection. The installation came alive through brilliant, colorful graphics and playful bubble motifs that naturally drew visitors inside. To ensure an inclusive experience for every guest, the exhibit integrated QR codes that linked to audio and visual aids, allowing everyone to engage deeply with the space. Once inside, visitors explored a dynamic landscape featuring site-centric view stations, interactive bubbles, and immersive "cubes of curiosity," all meticulously arranged to challenge preconceived ideas and encourage spontaneous interaction. 

​

The pavilion itself was envisioned as a living, evolving structure, intentionally designed with modular elements that attendees could reconfigure and inhabit throughout the event. Embracing a strong commitment to sustainability, the entire installation was crafted from safely upcycled and recycled materials sourced from local construction projects. This intentional design choice served to demystify the construction industry while prompting vital conversations about disposability, environmental impact, and industrial waste. By grounding the playful design in sustainability, the installation stimulated meaningful thought regarding what the City of Seattle is doing—and can achieve—to foster a cleaner, more equitable environment for all. Ultimately, the welcoming, relaxed energy of the pavilion created a unique sanctuary for neighbors to gather, relax, and share their experiences, embodying a true oasis of curiosity that visitors simply did not want to leave.
