The Untitled (392 Sheets of Plywood) central bar installation at IDS Vancouver is a material and economic exploration by Vancouver’s Leckie Studio. Known for creating material-driven and innovative architectural environments, the studio employed a design-build process to create an installation that provided a space for vendors, media and visitors alike to connect and relax. The pavilion was intended as a place of refuge for over-stimulated visitors amidst the trade show floor - a place to meet, enjoy and discover. The result is a semi-enclosed structure that provides a more intimate scale of space within the larger exhibition hall. The installation balances opposing forces of solid/void, open/closed, and vertical/horizontal; creating a voyeuristic relationship between the enclosed space of the bar and the surrounding circulation. Pulled deep into a visual haven, visitors are cocooned and buffered from the surrounding activity. Air, light, and sound penetrate intermittently through the thin planes of wood providing a sense of intimacy. The minimal interior puts an emphasis on facilitating engagement between the guests to achieve a space for exploration and engagement. The surrounding space becomes a canvas for light and shadows where random silhouettes stream into the space through the surrounding voids.
