that constant components constitute the
body, while the variable constitute clothing
– giving the building its uniqueness without
deflecting from its essential purpose.
In light of the fact that clothing changes
according to fashion, all “fast thinking”
digital effects can be directed towards the
requirements of a short shelf-life – such as
interior design and industrialized elements.
In this way, the envelope can be adjusted to
the user needs in real-time, and advanced
technology can be recruited to improve
the building performance, to provide
comfort (thermal, for instance) or generate
atmosphere.
This kind of labour division occurs in any
architectural milieu, but most prominently
in galleries that change exhibitions,
restaurants, cafes, and offices that change
their purpose every now and then, or even
private houses that are constantly adapting
to changes of life-style, technological
innovations, and new building materials.
And just as an example - the modern split air-
conditioner has the same purpose as the old
window air-conditioner. However, its effect
on the efficient functioning of a building,
its appearance and the surroundings – is
cardinal.
And the fewer the examples, the better!
Led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues,
Ball-Nogues studio operates in the sphere
between architecture, art and industrial
design. Produced by digital technology and
unconventional building materials, their aim
is to enrich space by stimulating the senses,
thus generating active involvement in the
creative process, intentionally based on a
short shelf-life.
The studio’s art work aroused interest despite
the relatively minor investment in production,
and has been presented in Museums of
Contemporary Art, winning numerous
prestigious prizes.
In 2015 the studio designed (and produced)
the Pulp Pavilion at the Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival. The experimental,
extremely sustainable structure was made
of papier mache collected from waste water,
and stuck on pigmented woven fibers.
When lit up, various colors enhance its
experimental, dynamic appearance.

״פביליון הנייר״ - באנגלית
בעמוד השמאלי:
תאית, אבל גם שמה של להקת הרוק הפופולרית
משנות התשעים, פסטיבל המוזיקה והאמנות, עמק
. שלא כמו ארג-זכוכית
2015
קוצ׳לה, קליפורניה
המכיל פולימרים רעילים, הפביליון דמוי היער עשוי
מעיסת נייר שנאספה מסינון מי נגר והודבקה על ארג
סיבי פחם בתוספת פיגמנט. המבנה המואר בצבעים
שונים, שימש במהלך הפסטיבל בהצלחה להגנה
מפני השמש והלחות, ופורק לאחריו.
