Music Pavilion for Vienna / Excessive Workshop

Moritz Mombour has designed a music pavilion for the Karmelitermarkt in Vienna. The concept for the project revolves around the notion that qualities typically deemed as un-architectural can be purposefully employed in order to abandon the typical ambition of creating and preserving a perfect aesthetic moment. Attributes such as decay, tenuousness and collapse are harnessed to produce an atmosphere that can embrace emotions ranging from the uncertain to the romantic. The cellular logic of the project allows for continuous expansion and, in turn, a continuous evolution of these qualities and emotions.

Designed as part of the “Excessive” program lead by Hernan Diaz-Alonso and tutored by Steven Ma, the project is part of an ongoing conversation that explores disciplinary autonomy, emerging aesthetic paradigms, and systematic speciation. 

I would be nice for our entry to be Expressive, not necessary as Excessive as the example above. We could emphasise on the notion of motion but with the certain sensitive reaction quality towards the context and the environment (Led lighting, weather detection, temp, etc)  I did a quick sketch on a light structure as for my 1st approach, taking into account our discussion month ago. Hopefully will be up in the blog by the end of this week.

Adios Amigos,

WELCOME!

Dear Comrades,

Finally the blog is being set up.
Here are a few example of installation that are quite interesting.
Please do feel free to attach any piece of blog entry.

This was taken in Taiwan, It was a shopping mall selling computer hardware. Reluctantly, due to the city's master planning, the government had no choice but to move this to give way to the highway. Hence, the idea of having an installation work that shows what it was in a hidden way but very meaningful. One could not understand if one does not know about the past of that particular place.

This is another view of the installation underneath the elevated highway. I think what we could extract here is that there must be a particular distinctive "point" about a specific site. I suggest that we could look up onto Trafalgar Square's history, existing programme and of course future development.
