14 Rooms
“14 Rooms” is taking place in the same hall where we designed a temporary architectural installation in 2001 – a concert hall for the European Month of Music. Now, in 2014, there will be 14 rooms for 14 artists to present live performances for small groups of people. This spectacular artistic project, already organized in various cities, will continue to take place in the coming years. Last year there were 13 rooms, this year there will be 14 and next year 15. The overall temporary installation of the rooms is variable but the basic properties of each one are always the same: a floor area of 5m x 5m, a height of 3.5m, a door and no windows. Earlier on, the rooms were laid out like scattered or compact settlements with lanes and plazas in between. We have opted for a stringent, linear arrangement of two parallel façades, painted white, each with seven doors. A mirrored wall placed at the two narrow ends optically extends the white façades and the doors to infinity. Instead of 14 doors, there seem to be twice, three or four times as many. Fourteen is a chance number; it will be 15 in 2015 and possibly 100 in the year 2100.
