Investigations of Folie designs

Fiona Curren, This time next year things will be different.

Front

Side
Representing time through a tree house.  This is not meant to be used, as there is no way on getting into the tree house. This elevates the importance of the structure, as being nearly impossible to touch, while being so close. Note the interesting use of timber, can be structurally strong, and used in an intricate fashion, however at the same time, can be messy, and not help in shelter.

The Roof That Goes Up in Smoke by Overtreders W
An inflatable pillow on stilts. Provides shelter, however has the illusion of being able to float away. Interesting use of structural timber as seating.

Person inside
This holds one person and is made completely of rubber. It holds a bench and window. This concept is not at all appropriate with the site, as the site needs something open, and most of the materials used are very natural and structural.
