Here are some photographs of the recently completed Coca-Cola Beatbox, a pavilion in the London 2012 Olympic Park that can be played like a musical instrument (+ slideshow).
Designed by London architects Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt, the Coca-Cola Beatbox invites visitors to make a musical collage of sporting sounds by touching parts of its structure.
The sound samples, including a human heartbeat and trainers squeaking on a court, are taken from the Olympic song ‘Anywhere in the World’ recorded by British producer Mark Ronson.
The sounds are embedded in 200 interlocking ETFE plastic pillows which are sensitive to movement and touch.
The pavilion opens to the public on 27 July.
We first published images of the project proposal back in March.
