Why Don't We Do It On The Stairs?
19, Darupvej, Roskilde, Denmark
YEAR
2011
Why Don't We Do It On The Stairs?Winner of 'Build What Here?' design competition organised by the Danish Architecture Centre and Roskilde Festival.The project will be the landmark pavilion of Roskilde Festival 2011 (30.6 - 3.7).Roskilde Music Festival is
one of the most vibrant urban areas in the world with 120.000 people
gathering in a field to celebrate music, culture, life and each other.
These people aren’t there to be told what to do! It is their festival and they want to create
their own environments and experiences! All we can and all we should do
is to create environments that beg the question:…WHY DON’T WE?‘Why Don’t We Do It On The
Stairs’ is an open and flexible concept providing a variety of spaces to
accommodate all sorts of activities throughout every hour of every day
of the festival. By creating two large stairs offering seating with
views of the festival grounds and filling them with activity boxes where
anything can happen, people can always find spaces that suit their mood
- whether they want to learn how to make music, dance, kiss, meet other
people, play boardgames, sleep, read newspapers or just sit down and
look at people (and all the crazy things people do).Project Strategy (See Diagram)1.
At Roskilde Festival there is always a need for somewhere to sit down
and have a rest between eating and seeing your favourite band, or
somewhere to sit and wait to meet up with your friends. By organising
the seats in a 27m x 27m x 10m triangle constructed from re-used plywood
with scaffolding as structural support (like a football stand), they
become a natural meeting and gathering point for the entire festival.
From the top you can look over to the Orange stage and all the way back to your tent in the camp!2.
People like to watch people, and nowhere is this more true than at
Roskilde where people seem to do even stranger things than usual. By
placing another triangular seating area facing the other one, there is
never a lack of people to watch; endless entertainment!The different orientations also allows you to choose whether to sit in the sun or in shadow all throughout the day. Plus, it creates an area in between that is ideal for sports, public events or improvised concerts!3.
We like to pretend it never happens, but sometimes it rains even at
Roskilde. When the rain pours down outside, nothing is nicer than a roof
under which to stand and stay dry at least for a little while. By
cutting out the underside of the stairs, we create a giant roof covered
area that can be enjoyed even when the sun is shining!(At night it turns into a giant disco!) The complex arrangements of
structural supports, lights hanging from the ceiling and art
installations creates a dream world of inspiration and mystery.4.
People come to Roskilde not only to watch bands, they come to have the
best week of the year! By placing several activity boxes in varying
sizes in the stairs, we present people with the opportunity to make
their own dreams and ideas become reality.5. ... so why don't we?
