Aura Garth

Aura Garth is a scented pavilion made up of timber arches and metal mesh cladding. The scented lighting devices are installed together with fabrics hanging from curved open roof timber frames. The hanging fabrics hold tubes of bamboo scents and delivers aroma to visitors who walk through the arched space. It invites viewers to connect their senses to the art pavilion which then creates unique olfactory arts experience. As curved cloister structures works as space of interaction, the ultimate multi-sensory experience gradually varies from time to time.
