Cloud Garden est une série de doux nuages dans le paysage encourageant l’interaction ludique entre les visiteurs. Développé par l’agence Design Office Takebayashi Scroggin [DOTS]dans le cadre de leur participation au Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) à La Grande Motte, ces constructions explorent le thème du Festival "Sensualité" en permettant aux visiteurs de jouer dans, sur et autour des formes voluptueuses ou tout simplement de se détendre et d'engager des conversations sur ces grands corps mous. Chaque «nuage» est constitué d'un amas de sphères de vinyle, gonflées, enveloppées dans la maille de nylon translucide produisant une variété de figures ludiques situées sous un auvent d'arbres dans le patio de l'église Saint-Augustin.
Cloud Garden is a series of soft “cloud-like” clusters arranged in the landscape to encourage playful interaction amongst its visitors. Developed by Design Office Takebayashi Scroggin [DOTS] for participation in the Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) at La Grande Motte, these constructs explore the festival’s theme of “Sensuality” by allowing visitors to play in, on, and around the voluptuous shapes or simply relax and engage in conversation on the large soft bodies. Each “cloud” is comprised of an aggregation of inflated vinyl spheres wrapped in translucent nylon mesh producing a variety of playful figures situated underneath a canopy of trees within the courtyard of Église Saint-Augustin.
