CENTRAL EXHIBITION HALL MANEGE,
SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
THE BASIC IDEA
We drape the interiors of the Central Exhibition Hall of Manege, hiding the architectural details of the building and creating a neutral background for sculptures and video projections.
The sculptural podiums are made from lightweight cinder blocks covered in a "heavy" fabric. Cinder block structures have the advantage of being easy to assemble, not requiring wet processes, and being fire resistant. They create a parametric space that can be dissolved into the vast interior, where the color of fabric matches the floor and walls to create a seamless effect.
EACH PODIUM SHOULD HAVE A GAP AND A VIEW FROM ANY SIDE
