LAVA Architecture presents emergency ‘Origami Cave’

LAVAS emergency shelter Pavilion is an inhabited molecule.

Concept.

The design is based on a water-moleculeand makes reference to the the Japanese Metabolist concept of prefabricated capsules.

The project also references LAVAs project of Digital Origami, where flat elements are folded into contemporary 3-dimensional shapes. The base molecule can either be shipped as a flatpack, cut out of local plywood, or dropped of by a helicopter.

space:

The interior can then be carved out of wood or Cardboard or other locally available materials. The project plays with ideas of prefabrication and personalised inhabitation, as well as

stacking of multiple units, while giving an opportunity for individual expression on minimal space. Each unit contains sleeping space for 2 adults and one child as well as a little space for eating and reading.

fabrication:

For the showcase in Sydney it is suggested to CNC cut the layers of Plywood individually and stack them on top of each other. Lighting will bring the exhibit to life and almost turn it into a lantern, a sign of hope.

WasteLandscape, A project by Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard

“WasteLandscape” is a 500 square meters artificial undulating landscape covered by an armor of 65,000 unsold or collected CDs, which have been sorted and hand-sewn. It is well known that CDs are condemned to gradually disappear from our daily life, and to later participate in the construction of immense open-air, floating or buried toxic waste reception centers.

Made of petroleum, this reflecting slick of CDs forms a still sea of metallic dunes: the artwork’s monumental scale reveals the precious aspect of a small daily object. The project joins a global, innovative and committed approach, from its means of production until the end of its “life”.

“WasteLandscape” will be displayed in locations coherent with the stakes of the project: art role in society, raising consciousness to environmental problems through culture, alternative mode of production and valuation of district associative work and professional rehabilitation. Over the course of multiple exhibitions, “WasteLandscape” will go through quite a few transformations before being entirely recycled into polycarbonate. The roaming will allow both artists to pursue new awareness-raising activities.

The installation has been developed by Elise Morin (an artist) and Clémence Eliard (an architect) in collaboration with the 104. The pair sewed the discs together by hand, before blanketing them over dune-like wire constructions. The current location of the exhibition is inside the Centquatre — a Parisian art space that, appropriately enough, was once a funeral home. The building has been refurbished by atelier Novembre: Marc Iseppi & Jacques pajot.

“WasteLandscape” is at the crossroad of contemporary art, landscaping and environmental concerns.
