artist christo has unveiled plans to construct a floating ‘mastaba’ structure in london’s hyde park, which could reach more than 20 meters (65 feet) in height. the new york times reports that the temporary design, to be made from 7,506 oil barrels, will float on the serpentine lake, behind kensington palace. ‘the exciting part of the project is that it’s detached from the urban landscape,’ says christo. ‘you have this incredible vegetation and open area.’
