Tape Paris case studyBy Tian LanLocation: Paris, FranceArchitect: Numen / For Use Design CollectiveOwner: N/AYear of completion: 2011Climate: Marine West Coast ClimateMaterial of interest:  Tape Application:  Structure Properties of material: Tape is a kind of material that is ephemeral and non-architectural, but designers turn it into one that has an architectural capacity.The stretched biomorphic skin of Tape Paris is marking the entry point to the whole experience, being a literal incarnation of an in-ner-directed, regressive environment - the sense of descent into the primordial always lingering around its openings. It took twelve people ten days to wrap-up the concrete pillars in the great entrance hall of Palais de Tokyo into a maze of accessible translucent passageways, which coil 50 meters through the gallery space and reach the total height of 6 meters.
