Developed within the academic program Atlas of Proposals, CANOPY is a prototype for a mobile shade structure, exploring how cooling, shelter and spaces for gathering can be created in the public realm.

Inspired by the way a tree canopy functions, perforated steel plates filter sunlight, allow air to circulate, and create ever-changing patterns of light and shadow.

CANOPY is part of Soft Shelters, an exhibition on shadow structures for a livable city, developed together with students from the Faculty of Architecture at KU Leuven.
