Papillon and The Other Half
43, Schaumainkai, Frankfurt am Main Süd, Frankfurt, Germany
Exhibition design Deutsches ArchitekturmuseumFrankfurt, 10.07-20.09.2009“Papillon” is a wall-structure-cum-pavilion for which preliminary materialgeometric studies carried out by the students of the Städelschule Architecture Class (SAC) are presented in this exhibition. The project is an experiment with textile-reinforced polymer composite materials as well as complex surface geometry and forms part of the ongoing research being conducted at the SAC on the topic of these material systems in relation to architecture.
In the exhibition, examples of the preliminary material tests are displayed against a 25 meter long printed canvas equaling the length of “Papillon” planned as a wall surface. The latter consists of sixteen different panelswith varying geometry and openings. Its overall structure is derived by categorizing and rating the pavilions which have been analyzed by the SAC students where they have been classified according to the functional or ideological categories of Weltverständnis, Performance, Exhibition, Communication,
Pleasure / Celebration. This wall structure is designed so that it can fold into a semi-enclosed pavilion structure. Hence the name, “Papillon,” which is the French term for butterfly and the etymological root for
the word pavilion.
