UNFOLD
competition proposal - 2022 - Elewijt, Zemst
Under the guidance of Team Vlaams Bouwmeester, Toerisme Vlaanderen was in search of a temporary intervention for their summer festival Stories Unfold which was held on the grounds of Pieter Paul Rubens’ former estate in Elewijt, Zemst.
The ambiguous nature of the brief encouraged us to abandon the conventional notion of a static pavilion. Instead, we proposed a structure capable of transforming—fluid in its form and responsive to the instability of changing event conditions. It could shift between an intimate, enclosed space and an ephemeral, open framework—engaging with the surrounding landscape.
