the cladding is made of fiber reinforced plastic, sandwich panels (two layers of FRP with in this case glass fiber foam core between the two)

the FRP panels are cladded onto curved I beams.. there’re many sites documenting the construction assembly process.

When first I laid eyes on this, I was so pleased to see Chanel continuing their on going collaborations with artists and designers. Much of the atmosphere reminded me of their in-store intstallation campaign. Chanel merged fresh, new, creative talent such as, Johan Creten, Cassius Verus, and Alec Soth, along with seasoned veterans like Yoko Ono, Paola Pivi, and Jean-Michel Othoniel. The line up is blockbuster and I heard by 2010, at the last Paris show, there will be other artists introduced in addition.

C’mon people, contemporary art is no longer 2 x 3 ft canvases. most of the exhibition is installation. Despite the design or if it screams Chanel or if the tiles look bathroom-ish or not, the idea of a travelling art pavillion is very good and quite innovative.

I’ve been to this in HongKong a few weeks ago.. On the point someone brought up about the architecture fighting for attention with the art, it doesnt happen at all; in fact the art and the architecture complement each other very well. The circulation makes it such that the whole journey is coherently connected and the experience engages all your senses.

The space inside is really out of the world, if you have the chance, experience it and you’ll know.
