ESTADE
ESTADE is a two-pronged revaluation of the components of the Olympic roof. In the form of seating arrangements, the project is a simultaneous proposal for object design and layout. Each seat consists of a pocket on which rests a metal base. Inflatable, their volume and shape are defined by the interaction of filling and seat position. Thanks to the versatility of its four potential modules, ESTADE offers countless possibilities for combinations and layouts. The range is built around two different module sizes and two different seat positions. An equally versatile pergola completes the installation.
Composed mainly of the membranes pulled from the roof, the products on offer are durable and easy to repair. Structural parts, flying forks and poles, and cables are also reinvested in the project's design. In addition to assembly hardware, the proрosition makes full use of revalued roofing components. Air filling completes the manufacturing process. Pumps are included in the assembly of the proposal.
The development is intended to take the form of temporary, event-driven installations. Ideal for the Olympic Park and its surroundings, the proposal can also be adapted to various locations throughout the city of Montreal. ESTADE is first and foremost a gathering place. The modules, as designed, and their proposed layouts, are intended to encourage social interaction. The project's versatility allows it to be deployed in a variety of contexts and circumstances. Its ease of installation and repair allows for more than short-term installations.
With its predominantly re-used components and use of air as filling, the proposal's production emphasizes ecology. The simplicity of manufacture and choice of components support ESTADE's ease of maintenance and longevity. Its design also considers the convenience of transport, storage and handling. Disassembled and deflated, ESTADE is easy to handle. Its recycled nature, compact storage and low labor requirements make it an ecologically sound project.
