White and Blue Boat Show at Rimini, Italy

May 13, 2009

SDC10153For the most glamorous boating event of the season, the Rimini Fair organised this year’s show using our Domes to characterize their “Quintessentially Blue Terrace Boat Show”. The appointed space for 400 exclusive guests of honor was one of our DomesSDC10096

The 3 installed Domes, measuring respectively 16, 30, 36 feet in diameter, were used as the Information Desk Dome, the Lounge Bar Dome, and the Star Office Dome (the business centre for the fair and it’s guests).  Each one attracted immense interest and appraisal from the public, as well as from the operators attending.

On one particular day, with high winds of 38 knots, the Domes proved their capacity as structures capable of withstanding elements which traditional structures may not always be able to do.  Other operators, which took refuge in the Domes, learned the truth to our slogan “under the Dome, life is always beautiful!”.

NiX, created by The Only Animal, 2009 in
Calgary on Olympic Plaza skating rink

Housed in a 44 foot geodesic dome, /NiX/ follows a few survivors and
an arsonist through the fireworks at the end of the world. Created
entirely of snow and ice, /NiX/ is a frozen fantasy complete with
flaming tuba, snowman death scene and an explosive love story that
will melt the coldest of hearts. An entirely unexpected theatrical
adventure.
