28 – The pavilion must be colored or may be lightly drawn Only colored 27 – The deadline for entering the competition is January 9, inclusive? Yes 26 – Can i use zippers or ropes for my inflatable pavilion? You must take into consideration that the pavilion will be manufactured using hot welded seams. Whether your design uses ropes or zippers is up to you. 25 – I’ll need to save files with 72dpi of resolution and 300dpi of resolution in the same folder. Do we need to make two different folders into one file xxxx.zip? Just make two folders named 72dpi and 300dpi and then send your final zip file: XXXX.zip 24 – Is it possible to use both closed inner tube (without continuous pneumatic pressure) and open inner tube (with continuous pneumatic pressure)? Only Closed inner tube 23 - Is it possible to use sandbags as an anchor system instead of concrete blocks or bolts? Yes 22 - If this is true, I would understand the “monocolour” requirement is that each piece of material not be independently printed on or vary in color in some way. If this is not true, then should the entire structure be one material so that it can achieve “monocolour?” The pavilion will be made out of 100% recycled polyester obtained from the recycling of plastic bottles 21 - Regarding the color, can there be more than one material that has inherent colors different from each other? No, the pavilion will be made exclusively out of PVC 20 – The inflatable pavilion, may have a structure? No 19 – Could the inner tube be made by any shape (or just a tube/tore)? Any shape 18 – What’s the difference between trapped air and pneumatic tipology? The PFFF inflatable pavilion’s typology will be just INNER TUBE (trapped air). 17 – I do not have a paypal-account, could i transfer the fee by bank account? Paypal can also be used without an account but you still need a credit card 16 – May I submit more than one project? If yes, do I need to pay the fee once for each project, or just one time for all submitted projects? No just 1 submission per person/group 15 - Is it possible to use insulating soap foam to inflate the structure? No, the pavilion can only be inflated with air 14 – I read that is possible project an inflatable without roof, is the place where the inflatable goes itinerant or fix end if is fix is inside or outside? Pfff is an itinerant pavilion so it could be positioned inside or outside without any restrictions 13 - It’s allow to use light as part of the project? Yes it’s up to you 12 – What about supports/furniture that they need to promote this artists? or we have to design only the inflatable structure? Only the structure 11 - 50mq is the measure of all the structure or it’s the internal space that we can use? Internal space 10 – Does the construction have to be inflated by air or can I use another gas? You can only use air. 9 – What about supports/furniture that they need to promote this artists? Do we have to design only the inflatable structure? You have to design only the inflatable structure. 8 – 50mq is the measure of all the structure or is it the internal space that we can use?

PFFF is an architecture competition dedicated to architects, designers, students and engeneers focused on the design and realization of an inflatable pavilion that can embody the spirit of the FARM project. The competition is promoted by CityVision and FARM, a contemporary active cultural and turistic center project based in Sicily that has as first mission the promotion of contemporary art and culture. PFFF was established under the FARM Cultural Camp project, which aims to carry around the world works and installations by national and international creative youth. This international competition has two goals: 1. Stimulating the research on new materials and new technologies for inflatable and temporary buildings. 2. Encouraging the designers’ creativity. The inflatable mobile pavilion project will have a maximum size of 50 square meters. The pavilion will be used many times and it will have to be easily transportable and installable in squares, parks, meeting places of different cities and FARM Cultural Camp tour’s stops. The study of the atmospheric conditions (wind, rain, heat, cold) will be very important as well as the pavilion’s internal security. The study of materials, methods of inflation and deflation, structure anchoring to the ground and openings will be critical to the success and safety of the project. PFFF will be judged by an international jury which will have as president Italo Rota, founder of Studio Italo Rota & Partners and again Benjamin Ball, Marco Canevacci, Vanessa Todaro and Andrea Bartoli, all of whom are distingueshed by the large experimentation willingness in their work. Inside this issue you will have the opportunity to virtually meet some of them, their ideas and their philosophies and to have a look to their work’s images. Now, we officially launch PFFF! Let’s start with the proposals, we expect only to be surprised by your creativity! |
