Since Archinect first mentioned the Family and PlayLab's +POOL in 2011, the initiative has made significant progress toward realizing the world's first water-filtering, floating pool in New York.

After two wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns in 2011 and 2013 along with international acclaim, the non-profit support group Friends of +POOL teamed up with the Ace Hotel in New York to present a free public art installation,“Doing Something Big When No One Asks You To Do Something Big.”

Opening on February 5 at the Ace Hotel Gallery, the interactive installation will visually depict the four years of research and development that led to the creation of the +POOL. The installation will feature floor-to-ceiling wall drawings of the +POOL that explain its design process and reveal its latest discoveries and anecdotes.

All are welcome to the opening reception hosted by +POOL’s founders and board members on February 5 from 7-9 p.m. The exhibition will be open 24/7 until March 1.
