Please describe the project specifications

Main tent with integrated Lobby and Backstage.

What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

We were invited by the owners of "Circo Panamericano" of the country of Chile in South America, to design a new tent for their new season 2018-2019, that was colorful and different to the conventional tents that they had had previously.

What is unique or complex about the project?

With the design that we made, we achieved to connect in a monolithic element of 8 main masts, the main tent, the lobby tent and the backstage tent, managing different heights in the poles (King poles) to maintain harmonious rhythms, besides putting 2 arches structures in the tips of the low towers, achieving in this design of 2 colors white and blue, a very visually striking architectural contrast.

What were the results of the project?

With this project, we succesfully got, that our client had a very impactful change in the projection of their circus, achieving even, comments in local journal notes of the innovation and beauty of this tent.
