Ensaio 04 is a geometric study of a curved surface built through
straight planes of poplar wood, resulting in a perspective deformation.
The exercice proposed by FAHR presents a scenic element related to the
theater, which is also an exercise of scale since it relates the
building with the public space, creating a temporary urban scenary.
Besides, Ensaio 04 is a strange object due to the illusion that it
creates to the human eye, and because of the relations of shadow /
light, full /empty that change during the day.
Essay 04 takes part in a set of geometric experiments developed by FAHR
and was developed from a challenge of the Municipality of Póvoa de
Varzim for the celebration of the 3rd anniversary of the reopening of
the Garrett Cinema-Theater.
