main supporting structure before positioning of stools

Atelier Mazas / Paris / FR

The purpose of this installation is to activate the Mazas Square to introduce the future project of the Quai de la Rapée, integrating values common to this one, namely "a place for all, thought by all".
Located on the square at the entrance to the Austerlitz bridge, a hinged position between the high and the low quayside, a small pavilion emerges that tends to be evolving and personalized by the population.
It consists very simply of a vertical structure on which rests a cover composed of small stools.
These then give rise to free customization workshops before being suspended.
It then results in an object whose residents are the main actors where everyone has the opportunity to express their creativity, and create a pavilion that resembles them and belongs to them.
Finally the vertical poles will welcome informative panels on the project soon built.
Following the dismantling of the installation, the stools are entrusted to individuals or associations with a view to recovering them the following year.
The pavilion will then be divided and dispersed in the neighborhood.
The stools will then be subject to the hazards of everyday life and witnessing stories.
