Zaha Hadid Architects assina casa de pets ao lado de arquitetos

Arquitetos, artistas e designers se uniram para arrecadar fundos para a Blue Cross for Pets, uma instituição de caridade com sede no Reino Unido que resgata cachorros abandonados e doentes das ruas. Os profissionais criaram um grupo chamado BowWow Haus London, com a intenção de construir casinhas para pets cheias de design e estilo que serão leiloadas.

O escritório Zaha Hadid Architects assinou a Cloud, uma casinha em formato de casulo feita de madeira compensada sustentável. A peça, projetada para ficar elevada e proteger os cachorros do chão frio, lembra a cadeira Bubble de Eero Aarnio ou retrô Orb, mas também apresenta as curvas orgânicas das obras mais icônicas de Zaha.

Dentre os diferentes modelos criados, uma casinha feita de vidro e preenchida por 2 mil bolas de tênis coloridas chama a atenção. A coleção também conta com uma casa feita de copos recicláveis e uma plataforma flutuante. Veja os modelos:

Até o dia 26 de março, aproximadamente 65 casinhas foram expostas em ruas e pontos turísticos de Londres, como por exemplo na Estação St. Pancras. Todas as peças serão leiloadas ainda nesse mês.

BowWow Haus London auction this evening in aid of Blue Cross for Pets and the Outdoor Arts Foundation. @ZahaHadidDesign has created the ‘Cloud’ kennel for @BowWowHausLondon, the public exhibition in aid of @The_Blue_Cross for Pets, a UK charity that re-homes and cares for more than 40,000 sick, injured and homeless pets each year. The exhibition features unique dog kennels designed and built by architects and artists from around the world and is a collaboration with national pet charity Blue Cross for Pets, as well as the US-based #OutdoorArtsFoundation who support community-based creative engagement. ‘Cloud’ is a cocoon-like kennel elevated slightly above ground to protect dogs from cold floor surfaces, constructed in sustainably sourced plywood that is CNC milled using digital design and fabrication. The kennels have been exhibited around London and will be auctioned at tonight’s event at the Renaissance St. Pancras Hotel, raising money for the care of the many thousands of animals Blue Cross helps annually. Online bidding can now be made via The-Saleroom.com. On-line bids will merge with this evening’s live auction bids. Maha Kutay, director of Zaha Hadid Design said: "Designed for the BowWow Haus exhibition, ‘Cloud’ continues our long-standing commitment to support those doing great work in our community." Jay Goulde, Executive Director of the Outdoor Arts Foundation and founder of BowWow Haus London said: "It's been 15 years since the first #BowWowHaus in America and its magical to have architects and artists from all over the world coming together to exhibit their extraordinary pieces."
