Pop-Up Park / Collectif Parenthèse

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 12:00:00 +0000

The Armada of Rouen, France, is an event that brings together the world's largest sailboats and ships, every five years. Faced with the majestic immobility of the most beautiful boats in the world, passersby can take the time to stop on the installation carried out by the Collectif Parenthèse. The proposed scenography is organized in a harmonious dialogue between the geography of the site and the maritime architecture. A succession of vertical lines drawn by a wooden structure of masts and sails that accumulate on the site responds to the horizontality of the sheds, the wharves, the water, and the bank.

Its morphology does not show in a first view, its real hidden constructive complexity; where all spaces, relations, details and materials had been thought, drawn and executed with one only measure, the human scale.

Gustave Flaubert Bridge / SCAU

Victoria King — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Like a souvenir of the port of Rouen with its cranes and dockers, the bridge’s majestic piles and their superstructures reveal the vertical movement by the dramatisation of the pulleys and cables for lifting the roadways. They signal the border between the fluvial and maritime domain and the city backdrop of towers and spires of the Rouen sky.
