Versailles, France
Over the centuries, nomadic peoples have developed a pragmatic and highly technical form of architecture, which has had to rely on economy of means to be transportable and therefore viable. Both a spatial boundary and a climate regulator, the textile interface protects against wind, rain and sun, retains heat or coolness, and defines spaces and their privacy.
The project takes the form of a square pavilion in the Maréchalerie courtyard. Comprising a platform and four triangular porticos, the pavilion's structure tensions a textile interface. The side walls, free to move with the visitor's hand, define the pavilion's spatiality, accesses and views to the exterior. The textile interface is y structural, spatial, climatic, kinetic, reusable and resilient.
