Folie Design Development Week 02-2

After we individually analysed the site, as a group we considered the possible design outcomes, with considerations of the brief at hand, the site history and previously studied exemplars. This group discussion produced no concrete design elements, but several key design considerations were agreed upon as a group that our folie must project.

They were:
The use of movement to harness the 'parti' of the site
Interaction!
Must be structuren in its presentation of the narrative
To constantly evaluate its architectural merit.

The following images are of installations with similar reference to their site:

Architect Peter Archibald Bodola created this temporary architecture installation as out outdoor exhibit which provides prestigious gallery space for its viewers.

He imagined the pavilion as the forgroup of the "Light Box", which he wanted to emphasize as an entrance-gate like design. Walking through the pavilion gives a special space-experience, with the help of this the visitors are prepared of the exhibition.
The unique geometrical construction shoes the possibility of the FACIT-system. He endeavored to the statue-like- appear at the design of the construction of the pavilion. On this behalf he worked with hidden connections and simple materials. He set light shade canvas between wooden structural frames.

Sponge Architects created this temporary architecture installation as out outdoor exhibit which provides prestigious gallery space for its viewers. 

The flexible pavilion design of SPONGE is designed as a tunnel of wooden frames which can be pulled apart. In this way, the pavilion can change in size according to the need. When the pavilion is closed, it functions as a closed capsule which is protecting the art pieces. By pulling the frames apart, a harmonica shaped transparent PVC foil is unfolding in between; it serves as a light resource and preserves the artwork from outside conditions. In the maximal possible position, there is even enough space for presentations, a small cinema or a vernissage. The ‘outdoor stage’ serves as the entrance of the pavilion, but at the same time as stage, as catwalk or as public furniture.

The design literally stretches the boundaries of work shown indoors and will enhance the outdoor art fair experience by showcasing the synergy between art, architecture and the outdoor surrounding.
