Self-built pavillion made out of recycled windows found on demolition sites mounted on a wooden frame.
La Fabrique is built with a similar mixture of seriousness and lightness. The pavilion made out of recycled windows found on demolition sites is designed and built by BUREAU A and the inhabitants in a couple days. The lightness comes from the direct relation between thinking and doing. Architecture’s usually long and complex process shrink to a point where pleasure and will become real actors of the design. For that matter, the nature of the pavilion resembles the emancipated miniature architecture of the follies of the garden culture. The seriousness relates here to the difficulty of producing self built and affordable space in western world’s cities and the sadness of the loss of spontaneity in architectural processes. Like Buster Keaton’s wedding present, La Fabrique is poetic and playful architecture within a serious context.
