PLEATED INFLATION / Marc Fornes & Theverymany

Near the lycée Christian Bourquin school in Argelès-sur-mer, France, MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY has sited an informal amphitheater for both visitors and students. ‘Pleated Inflation’ forms a playful dialogue between lightness and boldness, uniting structural performance and spatial experience. More than 990 overlapping aluminum shingles form an exterior skin characterized by tangential continuity and rigidity, adding to the studio’s body of work dealing with lightweight, self-supporting systems. The permanent installation immerses visitors in ornate shadows and geometries cast though the multiple porous structural pleats spanning overhead.
