Wisselland, cc Scharpoord (scenography), Knokke Heist, 2013, iov Vlaams Architectuurinstituut

The Flemish Architecture Institute invited five young design teams to form new images for our dynamic coastal landscape using projections, drawings, maps and models. The scenography of this exhibition was designed and elaborated by GAFPA.

A slender, storey-high structure is introduced. This picks up on the building’s existing concrete support structure and divides the open exhibition space. Where a window gives a view to the outside, the structure is covered with a blue fine-mesh net; a filter for the spaces behind, creating a visual and spatial tranquillity. Places are created, each with a specific spatial character. The friction between the temporary structure and the heavy concrete existing building fragments and frames, simultaneously exhibiting the building itself.
