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.
Cerca de la escuela Christian Bourquin en Argelès- sur- mer, Francia, MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY ha lcolocado un anfiteatro informal para los visitantes y estudiantes. “Pleated Inflation” forma un diálogo lúdico entre ligereza y audacia, uniendo el desempeño estructural y la experiencia espacial. Más de 990 tejas de aluminio superpuestas forman una piel exterior que se caracteriza por la continuidad tangencial y la rigidez, además del estudio de sistemas ligeros autoportantes. La instalación permanente sumerge a los visitantes en sombras ornamentadas y geometrías emitidas por los múltiples pliegues estructurales porosos que la atraviesan.
