PLEATED INFLATION_ 플리티드 인플레이션

프랑스 랑그독 루시옹의 비형식적인 원형 극장 구조물

프로토콜과 2D 네트워크 기법을 활용하여 990개의 알루미늄 조각을 패턴화하고 조합해 내어

프랑스 남부 랑그독 루시옹 지역에 1% 예술 프로젝트의 일환으로 계획된 비형식적인 원형 극장이 들어섰다. 이 영구적인 설치물은 다공성의 주름진 알루미늄패널이 만들어낸 화려하고 굴곡진 형태가 눈길을 자아낸다. 구조물은 총 990개의 알루미늄 조각으로 구성되어 있으며 서로 겹쳐지고 접히는 과정을 통해 묘한 구조미와 패턴을 엮어낸다.



 

이러한 구조물을 만들기 위해 디자인팀 MARC FORNES & THEVERYMANY는 도형 기하학과 프로토콜 (protocol)을 이용한 컴퓨터 기법을 활용하여 최적의 디자인을 완성하였다. 2D 네트워크의 활용을 통해서 작고 가벼운 물질을 사용하여 부피가 큰 하나의 공간을 완성시킬 수 있었다. 기하학적 패턴을 머금고 있는 바닥을 지지삼아 볼륨감으로 상승하듯 솟아난 구조물의 독특한 형태는 그 자체가 새로운 공간 경험, 구조체와 외피를 일체화 시키는 자립적인 경량시스템의 계획된 것이다. 전체적인 공정은 디지털 패브리케이션 작업 후, 네 명의 팀이 10일에 걸친 설치 작업을 통해 완성되었다.

A playful dialogue between lightness and boldness characterizes Pleated Inflation , the recently completed informal amphitheater by MARC FORNES/ THEVERYMANY in ArgelesSurMer, France. Bringing together structural performance and spatial experience, the permanent installation immerses students of Lycée Christian Bourquin in ornate shadows cast from porous structural pleats. The permanent installation was commissioned by Region Languedoc Roussillon, as part of the French 1% Artistique program. Pleated Inflation adds to the ‘structural shingle’ project family of MARC FORNES/ THEVERYMANY, the studio’s unique body of research into lightweight, selfsupporting systems that unify skin, structure, ornamentation and spatial experience.

The structure is made up of 990 shingles, each overlapping their neighbor to form tangential continuity and rigidity. The design was developed through custom computational protocols of structural form finding, descriptive geometry, and stress flowdriven porosity. A 2D network of lines as a footprint inflates and expands in the air, resulting in a voluminous space created with minimal lightweight material. Once inflated, the design is tessellated through a process of agentbased porosity, articulating a continuous pleated surface of 990 intricate aluminum shingles; each pleat lends structural depth, thinning the required profile of each panel. The skin meets the ground on 26 base plates. Following digital fabrication, the parts were installed over the course of ten days by a team of four.

Marc Fornes is an architect founder and principal of the THEVERYMANY a multi-disciplinary studio practicing architecture through systematic research and development into applied Computer Science and Digital Fabrication. His prototypical structures and unique organic environments are part of the permanent collections such as the Centre Pompidou, the FRAC Centre and the CNAP. Marc is a TED Fellow and was artist in residence at the Atelier Calder. His practice has been awarded New Practices New York by the AIA, the Architectural League Prize, Design Vanguard by Architectural Record, and the WAN 21 for 21 Award. Marc has been a visiting professor at Princeton, Harvard GSD, Columbia University, USD and Die Angewandte. He currently lives in New York.
