Liuku is an interactive sculpture made from cross-laminated timber and translucent polycarbonate by Berry Creative.
The installation is in honour of the centenary of the Messukeskus Expo and Convention Centre. The sculpture's climbable and slidable parts make up the shape of an M, the initial of Messukeskus.
The piece is mostly made of cross-laminated timber. The roof is made of translucent polycarbonate, which creates a thrilling red glow inside the slide.
Standing seven meters tall and reaching a length of 25 meters, the glowing red slide constitutes a new landmark as well as encourages people to loosen up, have some fun, and create shared experiences.
This project has been longlisted in the installation design project category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
