JEAN-PASCAL FLAVIEN


 

 

Jean-Pascal Flavien's work is a model for greenhouse, a real-size house project that has not been built yet (the house will be completed later this year at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover).

 

The concept of the building is articulated in its floor plan which features a large rectangular space from which four equidistant entryways connect to four narrow corridors of varying length, each leading to a room at its end. Seen from above, the plan is reminiscent of a plant from which four limbs extend. The association with organic growth is reinforced by the structure’s dark green color.
