Yasmeen Almuhanna: Looking Out week 5

Rethinking the Fence


This installation by Dutch design studio FABRIC won a competition for a fairly low budget pavilion set in the garden of Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The fence was constructed from one-meter-long sections that were connected on site. The untreated wood can be reused when it is removed.
Smaller wooden pieces used to join the evenly-spaced vertical slats are distributed irregularly across the surface and produce a moiré effect that creates the illusion of movement to visitors wandering around the structure. 

Essentially, the structure is nothing more than a curvy fence; a primary architectural element, rethought by the designer and made into something special.
