Tschumi, La Villette, Dis-/cross-programming, exploded axono of follies




An exempular drawing, the exploded axonometric of a kiosk components
Attached are Tshumi's drawings showing the process of his la villete park design.
If the far left diagram of the bottom image is a conventional approach dealing with programmes - 'dining, kitchen, lobby/circulation, support' for example- what he proposed in the far right through the middle one is dis-programming>cross-programming by pulling the component from each function and combine them into a small kiosk scale, which is called ' a folly'. A folly is a self-containing unit. It's got a bit of movement, a bit of programme, a bit of space etc. I can see a similarity between the follies and Nick's ribs or Prashant's farm-resaurant.

The untitled image shows the independent and self-supporting fragments. Each has got bits of different components and thus independent. If a bar is taken from Nick's rib kiosk, it won't function. The exploded component needs to function - that is the minimal unit that is still working.
