LILY PAD, CITY CORTEX – LISBON, PORTUGAL

Situated on the banks of the Tagus River, Lily Pad is a soft, reconfigurable playscape installed in Lisbon’s Belém district. As a counterpoint to monumental public sculpture or “plop art”, the project is a gesture to make urban landscapes more adaptable and accessible through play, rest and repose.

The project was commissioned by City Cortex, a research initiative curated by Guta Moura Guedes and supported by Amorim, the largest cork producer in the world.Learn more about the project here.
