WAO - Wild Architecture Objects
WAO, a company created with a dream of an alternative, flexible and playful architectures. This is the story of a dream of alternative, flexible and playful architectures capable to generate attraction and interaction by temporarily transforming the public space into playground. It is the story of encounters, between crazy projects and people able to give them a concrete form. Exhibited in the urban space, our structures reveal the cultural potential of the city by encouraging real human experiences. Momentarily transformed by the presence of these curious objects, out of step with the everyday life, these places attract new audiences.
‘‘ WAO is a company that creates temporary structures and installations, resulting from a broader reflection on the needs of animation and art, in the urban spaces.’’
The techniques and materials used for the realization of the installations combine manufacture and new technologies, making it possible to reach important scales within a relatively short production time. Easy to install, light and with minimal impact on the ground, the installations leave no trace behind them. They can be
moved, disassembled and completely recycled.
