WAO aesthetically combines the weightlessness of water with the euphoria of bouncing

five floating buoys are moored to a 40 meter deck at futuroscope park in france. while many attractions pull guests left and right at futuroscope, this bouncy new installation by wild architectural objects (WAO) sends bodies and laughs up toward the sun and down toward clear water.

the five-buoy installation — each punctuated with four trampolines — together has been named ‘lily.’ WAO installed lily at the central lake in futuroscope theme park as a playful new energy transfer. some might need a long walk on a thin deck over water to quiet the action of other attractions. instead of catching their breath on a bench, guests here might catch it mid-air after its been propelled from their lungs in a leap of sun-bathed serenity. lily is 1,000 square meters of canvas and 450 cubed meters of air to bounce around in.
