Le rocher très percé
GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 12th edition
The rocher très percé, a temporary installation made for the Festival international des jardins, at the Jardins de Métis last spring, delicately transposes a Gaspesien landmark into the heart of the gardens, for child’s play and pleasure.
Designed by Humà Design + Architecture, in collaboration with Vincent Lemay, the rocher très percé caters to the garden’s edition theme and explores our isolation from nature, and the resulting disenchantment in the face of its beauty. Decontextualized, emptied and transposed at a reduced scale of 1/40, the Rocher Percé becomes a metallic game structure for kids to climb on and conquer. Twenty metres long and four metres high, the installation is completely accessible and open for discovery, in ways its original landmark could never be.
The jury was impressed by the unique, functional, amusing and æsthetic concept that sprang from the abstraction of a natural landmark.
