Butong, originally a Swedish-based firm, specializes in a unique concrete moulding process which offers a wider range of freedom to designers. We’ve featured Butong previously on ArchDaily as their product was used for Visiondivison’s Cancer City resulting in an amazing lightweight slightly-transparent concrete landscape. The company has just shared their latest collaborative work – an installation between the Collectifs Cochenko and Quatorze as part of the drug awareness campaign commissioned by the French Ministry of Culture and MILDT. The project, translated to “Space, light, sound and drugs,” creates a sensory environment combined with a personal experience due to the visitor’s movement and mindset.
More images and more about the project after the break.
The installation is designed using three continuously linked spaces – pleasure, repetition and awakening. Only one person is allowed inside the structure at a time and may occupy the space for any duration of time. Upon entering, the door is shut behind the visitor enclosing him in an environment of beauty and tranquility as soft, crystalline music and subtle light phenomenons bring peace and pleasure.
