SIMPARCH
drum n basin
US based collective SIMPARCH will be realising a major new architectural installation in The Coach Shed at Greenland Street, as part of A Foundation’s autumn programme. SIMPARCH’s practice operates between the borders of architecture, design and popular culture and often results in the creation of large-scale works that take into account the specificities and histories of a given site.

Free Basin consists of a large elevated kidney shaped facsimile of a domestic West Coast swimming pool. Constructed meticulously from wood, this exquisitely crafted object will occupy the industrial proportions of The Coach Shed. Alongside the basin, SIMPARCH will install a 40ft full pipe. Made using a similar construction method with a complex layering of multiple wooden spines and ribs, the full pipes impressive structure echoes a hull in dry dock.

On completion, SIMPARCH will extend an open invitation to skate the architecture of the installation. The basin will allow for complex carves, grinds and airs, while the pipe provides skaters with the opportunity to perform dynamic turns and dives, all of which will combine to create a unique spectacle and rhythmic soundtrack within the space.
