Oct 1, 2026

It is located in the LifeHub, a retail street in the heart of Shanghai. The Blue Ribbon is a public space intervention in an outdoor space just at the intersection of two pedestrian streets.

The Blue Ribbon is a creative public space intervention designed to foster interactions among kids and adults in a virtually enclosed space.

The project is a circular object that by bending and turning it creates shapes that facilitate interactions among people.

A single ribbon that creates shapes for playing, climbing, seating and much more. On the other hand, it encloses a space for a playground. It is one ribbon that bending and folding create spaces and positions for kids and adults alike.

There are also some yellow boxes as seating features for the pedestrian to rest protected from the extreme summer conditions of Shanghai.
