Our friends from 100 Planos Arquitectura, a Portuguese firm, shared with us their latest project, Flower Power. Here’s the architect’s description:
The objective of this project was to create a structure model, multipliable, capable of creating ephemeral spaces or buildings. The need for a small pavilion at the Vila do Conde’s museum’s garden, where children and adults can have a rest and stop for some time during a visit to the museum, was the ideal starting point for exploring this idea of multiplication.
The basic module is a “flower” of 1.00 m diameter and 0.50 m high, with four petals, constructed of polycarbonate with plates of 5mm and pvc pipe ø 0,10 m. Assembling several modules with different heights we designed a waving horizontal surface, which suspended, creates a covered area.
Here and there the “flowers” go down to the ground and become a pillars, walls or partitions. We decided to call it “flower power”. It is a pavilion / building / structure, shading, under which you may rest, dance, read, sleep, or simply admire the sky cut by translucent flowers.

interessante, gostaria de ver a sombra e o efeito destes elementos vazados.
it’s like work AC’s PS1, no?
but without the garden and big idea.
agreed with homer, looks way too much like the PS1 installation, some renderings in context would have been nice too, I rather doubt this thing is meant to occur in an ambiguous plain. Feels more like a 2nd year student project
Reminds me of a sculpture dedicated to a certain Sibelius in Helsinki, I rather liked that one..you know, the sculpture.
Why would you want to see your project posted here when it is this bad? I honestly don’t get it..
Oh my oh my pillars are amazing
simple idea,very nice effect, i love it, looks great
It´s a little “girly”, but I like it.
Simple idea, cheap construction.
I would like to see it built.
ive seen this idea a hand full of times now
its something like this
