Gwangju Folly Gwangju, Korea

NADAAA在韩国光州的安装场地的特点：在一个交叉路口建设多种规模和类型的建筑，这些建筑充分利用每个角落的特点，可以说安装场地属于一个过渡场地。场地的宽度不存在任何尺度或重力干预的可能性。安装场地所在土地上遍布基础设施，比如电杆、下水道管线、路灯及其他技术装备。这些基础设施对居住或地面重新定义的可能性带来不少困难。反过来，街道边缘种有一排树，这些树巧妙地利用剩余空间，这样它们的根部就会能在拐角处得到很好的固定。因此，我们计划将拟建作品放置在这块天地之间的空地上，充分利用遍布树木的自然空间。采用逆向浇铸法，通过精确几何模板来确定展馆的形状，然后模板由随机交叉的钢筋填充，从柱的线性形态过渡到顶部浮动的水平几何体。在这个角落，作品就得像变色龙那样适应这里的环境；从树枝逻辑中得到启发，在顶端建设一个有生气的结构，可在角落里窥视四周，并充分利用曾经被城墙占用的空间。

The NADAAA Gwangju installation site is characterized by a road crossing with a diverse set of scales and building types that anchor each corner, a site in transition. Its width does not display the possibility of an intervention of any scale or gravitas. Its ground is strewn with infrastructure: electrical posts, sewer connections, street lights, and other technical paraphernalia that refute the possibility of inhabiting or redefining the ground. In turn, the street edge is defined by a row of trees, delicately placed within the remaining spaces such that their roots may find some traction as they navigate the corner. Our project, then, is lodged in that interstitial space,between the ground and the sky, enmeshed in the natural space of the trees. Making use of a method of reverse casting,the form of the pavilion is defined by geometrically precise formwork that is then filled by randomly intersecting steel rods which transition from the linearity of a column to the more horizontal geometry of the floating mass above. Inhabiting this corner, the installation is chameleonic; encrytped within the logic of the branches, a seemingly animated structure floats overhead, peeking around the corners giving body to the space that was once occupied by the city wall.
