Description of project by nous

Une révolution, is a pavilion drawn by Telmo Escapil-Inchauspé and Guilhem Solère (nous.) It was presented in the gardens of the National Lambinet Museum as the winning proposal. Representatives of the School of Versailles, they sign a "simple act", a galvanized steel pavilion whose presence is its only quality: that of modifying the perception of the place.

Specifically designed for the place, the formal simplicity of the pavilion reflects its constructive evidence. At the same time circular pavilion, rotunda, antechamber, fits into the perspective. By its simple positioning on the French parterre, it redistributes all the spatiality of the garden, its relationship, and approach to the historic building whose pediment it seems to support.

The Porchon Hotel resonates all the more with the installation when knowing that the iconography of its tympanum is an allegory of architecture. This high relief recalls the function of the first owner, entrepreneur of the buildings of Louis XV. If the title of the project strictly refers to the spatial experience it induces: that of turning around, it takes on a very special significance in this heritage site, which moreover houses a collection largely based on the 1789 Revolution. It then enters in resonance with numerous references linked to the architecture of this period, from Boullée to Ledoux, while preserving the double anchoring so strong and characteristic of its authors: great century / the third millennium.

Pavilion in galvanized corrugated steel bolted with washers. Unique prints, engraved aluminum.
