Wind Shape Designer: nARCHITECTS
Location: Lacoste, France
Windshape was conceived as an inhabitable outdoor environment, consisting of two eight metre high pavilions that dynamically changed with the Provençale wind. A structural vine-like network of white plastic pipes, joined together and stretched apart by aluminum collars, emerged from the limestone walls and terraces of Lacoste’s hillside. Fifty kilometers of white polypropylene string, threaded through the structural lattice, were woven to create swaying enclosures. The string was woven into dense regions and surfaces and pinched to define doorways, windows and spaces for seating. → narchitects.com Posted: 03/02/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
