These Flower Lamps Bloom When People Stand Under Them

Pedestrians in Jerusalems Vallero Square can stop for some respite under these selfinflating, giant flowers. Installed by HQ Architects in 2014 and titled Warde, these nine by nine meter flowers bloom when someone approaches, or when a tram is about to arrive, brightening an otherwise depressed part of the city. This project is part of the municipalitys effort to improve the urban space of the city center and in this specific case, of the squares poor condition, reads the Designboom submission.
