Two-Fold: An Architectural Affair

The Master of Architecture Design Studio’s goal was to locate a neglected space on our campus that could become livened with our open-air installation. We wanted to enrich this ignored space and transform it into an atmosphere that could not be imagined to exist there. We selected the barren volleyball court adjacent to the tennis courts after scrutinizing different sites thoroughly. Our studio chose to use limited amounts of everyday materials to enliven the limited site, yet used them with innovation: neon pink string became canopies and panels, white cardboard boxes morphed into projection screens, and hot pink fabric strips transformed into screens and partitions. Two-Fold relates to how all of these materials link and connect to each other. The intersection point results in a fold or kink in the material. All of the materials fold out from one plane and onto another.
