Collective Section
Folly/ Function Competion Submission
Socrates Sculpture Park
The Collective Section is a physical tool designed to
facilitate and challenge the social interplay within Socrates Sculpture Park’s
community. In isolation, each section operates will limited utility: A stool
and a perch to pause and view the surroundings. But when operated as
collection, each section has the potential to support and build on the function
of its counterparts. Individual perches come together to form tables for
community meals, intimate surfaces for chess matches, lounges to stare up into
the sky, rows to watch outdoor movies, and counters to exchange information and
goods. Any new arrangement of sections opens up a novel vehicle for social
interplay. And when the users leave the sections behind, a span of social
interactions lay traced across the landscape.
