The Feminist Initiative Pavillion. Stockholm, Malmö y Gothenburg. Suecia. Por Antman Gorsetman Architects

"...during an election year in Sweden, public squares are filled with temporary bases to display the political parties. Although only temporary structures, these “huts” play a vital role in the political networking system of the country. Such structures allow the politicians to meet and interact with the voters, answer any political questions and spread information, or even debate with those in neighbouring huts with different political ideas. “In the best case, such a structure is a manifestation of a parties’ political identity and priorities. It is therefore ironic that campaign-structures are similar, independent of what party they represent,” explained Antman Gorsetman Architects. In an effort to redesign the huts and allow each structure to embody their individual parties’ ideals, Antman Gorsetman Architects approached the political parties during the election year of 2006. The FI Party, the Feminist Initiative, was campaigning for the first time and decided to work with the architects to solidify their image in the public squares..."

Stand para UBoot.com, en el OMD´07 de Duseldorf, por Hackenbroich Architekten

Me he encontrado con este proyecto para un stand, que me ha gustado mucho. Por un lado resuelve conceptual, formal y contructivamente el espacio del stand mediante un único elemento; que además es muy económico: bandas de tela blanca. Y, además creo que refleja muy bien el espíritu del patrocinador: una red de contactos sociales. Levando el espíritu colectivo de las redes sociales a la generacíon de la forma del stand mediante adición de pequeños elementos individuales.



En palabras de los autores:

For the german-austrian social network portal uboot.com we were asked to develop an idea for their fair booth for the OMD 2007 in Düsseldorf. Based on the conceptual specifications and ideas of the fair organisers and our client (bright booth with a ceiling) we investigated some ideas and came up with this concept: a smooth shaped floating ceiling volumewhich organises the spaces underneath and gives an iconic quality to it.
This volume is not realised as a compact form but defined as a hovering datum plane between the volume and the space underneath. The result is a grid of white textile ribbons of different lengths which hang from the ceiling. This leads to multiple benefits in terms of function, construction and atmosphere. In combination with the furniture the whole space gets organized.
