Rocking Pad is unusual.
Appearing as a floating presence merging into the physical and visual space it offers different perspectives to the beholder.
Endowed with movement, it will alternate between mobility and immobility.
Conceived in between sculptural and architectural scale the Rocking Pad is a penetrable wooden structure providing a unique minimalist device, a shelter to rest and to enjoy The Forks surrounding scenery.
Composed as a regular hexagonal structure, the hut will provide frames offering multiple views, the six edges shaped fragment will act like a screen that seizes the surrounding landscape. Challenging its surrounding it gives new perspectives on it, intensifying the horizon.
The Rocking Pad engages not only vision but also the entire body of the user who’s activating the device by pushing it, rotating it, sliding it, climbing on it, giving an ever changing point of view on the site, the hut and the hut within the site.

Rocking Pad is a ship for discovery and observation, a shelter for the body, a vehicle for the imaginary drive.

Un iceberg, une cellule de fraîcheur curieusement échouée dans une cour au début de l’été.

Sa forme minérale développe des facettes immaculées invitant le visiteur à s’approcher de l’iceberg, le contourner pour saisir sa singulière géométrie alors que la cour est plongée dans l’ambiance sonore d’une tempête polaire.

La peau de l’iceberg est constituée d’un géotextile à l’aspect duveteux et réfléchissant la lumière à la manière de la neige poudreuse et est composé d’une grille polypropylène noire à l’intérieur assurant la stabilité de l’ensemble.Cour d’Aures, Montpellier

The competition challenge stands first at a metropolitan scale (slide 1). As a matter of fact, if Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan assumes its gateway role towards central park, Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn doesn’t assume the same role regarding Prospect Park.

Instead of being a connecting hub, the public Plaza isolates important public spots: subway accesses, the fountain, the memorial arch, the public library, Prospect park and the Park Slope and Crown Heights neighborhoods. For this reason, G.A.P doesn’t offer any facilities in its core; they are all spread around the plaza (slide 2).

Our project consists in imagining an urban mutation of the Plaza into a handy public space for both pedestrian and vehicles where nature would take back its place while motorways has today taken it in hostage. Finally, GAP would turn into an expansion of Prospect Park.

Analyzing the site, we focused on the « contrast » notion, which is totally missing on the site since the distinction between pedestrian paths and traffic lanes is highly blurry and the induced global visual effect is chaotic and therefore scaring (slide 3).

If usual architectural and urban tools will allow in long term to solve those problems by heavy infrastructural changes (within ten years at least between design and realization), we tried to imagine and propose a short-term solution that could be put into practice from tomorrow on and during the construction work of the long term solution, chosen by the city.

This proposal affirms itself as a citizen oriented solution, based on a participative form helping and informing the area residents and the usual car drivers on the site in order to prepare themselves to the upcoming mutations of the plaza and solving the actual main problems without waiting 10 more years.

The project consists in an urban acupuncture, easy to settle and efficient quickly (slide 4).

To do so, we designed a set of tools (equivalent to the acupuncture pins), which we propose to plug on specific points of the site (slide 5).

By diverting the existing context (urban furniture, side walks, crosswalks…), occupying left over spaces and opening to the public the existing planted mounts on the two sides of the Plaza to insert new temporary programs (the Green Market, restaurant for the workers during the renovation works, information points, cafes, exhibition gallery, flee market…) (slide 6 and 7), we hope to reveal the qualities of the existing square and improve it by tomorrow morning (slide 8), making Grand Plaza Army a comfortable and attracting gateway to Prospect Park soon.

We’re not offering a frozen project but a global and flexible concept that can be developed with other specialists as graphic designers, landscape artists, designers, artists, in association with the local residents and neighborhood associations in order to bring energy and effervescence to G.A.P. to become a central urban park for Brooklyn even before the long term renovation starts.Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11238
