Terrains Vagues is a multidisciplinary collective that offers creations combining architecture, construction, graphic design and cultural mediation. By reflecting on the social dynamics of a territory, its needs and collective memories, the collective takes an active, contextual approach to spaces, drawing inspiration from existing realities.Through the construction of small-scale constructions, artistic installations and graphic interventions.
Terrains Vagues envisions places as spaces with multiple potentials that make possible encounters and the reappropriation of common goods. To encourage the transmission of knowledge, the inclusion and decompartmentalization of practices, interventions are designed to be participatory and provide an opportunity to share with the public involved.
On site, Terrains Vagues is working on testing ‘Austria's smallest water park’ as a utopian project that questions the accessibility of leisure facilities in tourist areas and especially at Lake Traunsee in Gmunden, where access is mainly private. It is a nod to large-scale infrastructures that offer paid entertainment detached from the surroundings and promote a consumer-orientated approach to our natural environment.
The project’s goal is to use one of the floating platforms made by Plateau Blo and turn it into a sum of experimental and collaborative water games. They want to propose another design of water parks by constructing systems, out of reused materials, that can be activated by the public in order to interact with the Lake Traunsee.
