A architecture of assemblies
On arrival in Grand Palais ParisThe contrary is immediate. Under the glass umbrella of salon d’Onneur, a broad, pinkThe textile structure completely cuts the historical setting with ease of the new thing completely. This is a fun palace – designed by an architectural and curatorial experiment Studio ocidiana And staged by Center pompido During its five -year shutdown. In the name of Cedric Price’s famous invitation project, Interactive The installation reconsider how we gather, how we share space, and how collective life can be shaped by design.
Jean-Max Collard, Head of Programming at Center Pompso, frames the incident in both spatial and politically: ‘We have this idea to find out a new form of assembly. It is a pleasure to gather, but also how we speak, how do we come together in a space‘The ten -day program in Grand Palais, they explain, become a living laboratory, where each day is imagined as a room in a developed architecture of ideas, action and intimacy.
The decision to implement the sedric value was not casual. The original funny palace conceived in the 1960s proposed shaped cultural complex by users, not hierarchy. Although never built, its ideas are especially fundamental for institutions such as Center Pompedo. ,Renjo Piano and Richard Rogers studied the sedric price, ‘Collar says. ‘This is a way to resume that utopian project,

Soft Palace: A textile landscape for collective life
Contribution to studio ossidiana Center pompido The installation, which is given the title soft palace, serves as both landscape and stage. It bends on the floor of the grand palace like a garment and spreads, offering shelter, invitation, and unpredictableness. Created of layered pink, installation encourages barefoot wandering, recurring and spontaneous use. Its informality is deliberately.
,It was of one kind, Practice Studio Ossediana. ,The temporary house of the center Pompedo while it is being rebuilt. Due to lack of time and labor, all elements are made of rolls. These can expand to adjust changing programs‘Visitors flow between dialogues and demonstrations, often in the folds of the structure, part of its spatial choreography.
Soft physicality is central. ,We imagined a place where you could play a moment of privacy from a crowd from a crowd.‘The studio adds. ,We hope that every visitor will become both actor and audience in the choreography of their daily life,

In fact, find out the Grand Palis with the ‘Night Cockler’ game
Somewhere else in the Grand Palace, another form of architecture comes out – this time virtual. Knight out, by a video game artist Alice maps the building through bats, bats and sensory logics of flowers. ,This is a pollination simulator‘Baknel tells. ,You are either bat or flowers, navigating the underground root network or flying through the hall. You collect attractions using ecolocation or electric pulses. Each one makes sound. You and your partner play them back to each other like music scores,
Sports are multiplayer and cooperative by design. ,You can’t play alone‘Baknel says. ,This is about connecting with someone else, without words. Pollination becomes a type of couple‘Just as players are successful in these music exchanges, architecture changes. French formal gardens gradually give way to wild, overgrowth ecology. ,The more you cooperate, the more the palace changes.,

There is a more noticeable area among these interactive functions: a small, concentrated presentation of designed pieces from the collection of center pompido, cuisted by Olivier Zitoun. These outline the ability to design recent acquisition materials and people to collect both. ,We called it the assembly of goods‘Zeitoun Note. ,Each project here is the result of a collective process, either how it was made or what it represents,
Is among them PharmaphantasmaThe blanket, which interrogates the wooden industry through the material story, Fernando LaposCorn Kumiko Cabinet, and Mash.t deign studioHlabisa bench, a tribute to Zulu craftsmanship. Also work is done by view Ibiyan εWhose poetry forms attract migrant memory and shared experience. ,These items are sensitive to ecological, memory and postkolonial stories‘Zeitoun says. ,Becomes a tool for design connection for transmission,
While the project is inspired by the Fun Palace of the Cedric Price, this version is more touching, more embodied. You sit in it. You take a nap in it. You echo in it. you play. Its strength lies in it what it provides without a prescription, it is an open architecture that is shaped by its users. ,Cities are not born in beautiful solitude‘Alesndra is called Kovini. ,They get out of struggle, conversation, disturbances of being together,
