Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto<\/a> has created an installation in Paris’ Jardins des Tuileries composed of suspended metal cubes and plants, for the FIAC art fair.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commissioned by Parisian art gallery Philippe Gravier<\/a>, the Many Small Cubes installation features stacked boxes \u2013 some filled with plants and small trees \u2013 that are connected either just on one corner or one edge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together they create a structure with seemingly random cantilevers and openings on a tree-lined avenue in the Tuileries park.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A void in the centre represents the “living area”, with formal entrances at either side and lots of other access points if “one doesn’t mind lowering their head,” said a statement from Fujimoto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The structure is intended to represent a “nomadic” house and serve partly as an architectural intervention and partly as a sculpture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The floating masses of Many Small Cubes create a new experience of space, a rhythm of flickering shadows and lights, as being under the trees,” said Fujimoto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The architecture forms one unified element whose balance and stability are carefully designed: the position of each cube and each tree participates to the overall stability, yet reaching a random-like feeling, bringing the whole architecture closer to nature.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supported on a steel frame, the cubes are made from sheets of anodised aluminium that have been individually hand cut to fit into place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
