The blob in question is better known as the ‘I-Web’, designed by architect and TU Delft professor Kas Oosterhuis. The I-Web was originally one of the pavilions built for the Floriade exhibition of 2002 in the Haarlemermeer. The Floriade is an international horticultural exhibition that takes place once every ten years in the Netherlands. Upon completion, the Faculty of Architecture plans to use this pavilion-blob as an interactive, inter-disciplinary space.
