The temporary outdoor space will host community and educational events over the next month.
The colour of the structure was inspired by local flowers. Barry Yates/Sussex Wildlife Trust According to the Sussex Wildlife Trust, the yellow colour of the structure was inspired by the yellow horned poppy – a common local plant that can be found across the shingle of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. The Climate Art commission piece uses stretch fabric to cover more surface with less material, which minimises the environmental impact of the overall structure.
The structure was built with rigging techniques never before used in the UK. Photo by Barry Yates/Sussex Wildlife Trust
