Project description in English

What should an architect's stand for public events in order to be foldable, light, cheap? What scenography does an architect need for an workshop with by-passers? The proposed approach was built in the idea of bringing people close. Thus, two stands were practically created, covered with a single textile, between which people were invited to enter and discover small models and improvised playing cards with questions intended to help them start a discussion with an architect. The stand is a moment that should bring a challenge along with an invitation. "Ask the architect" was the theme of the workshop proposed by us, an invitation to a first free discussion with a professional. A simple wooden structure, demountable, white cloth, plants. A light reference to the main materials of a shelter. A way to achieve shading and a simple way to create a space. The signage had to fit into this natural landscape with a festival atmosphere, so we proposed the use of 1m diameter, simple, round, white balloons printed with the team's logo. In the end, the structure folds, travels, is archived and waits a new public exposure.
