Part fence, part store,
‘Exchange Fence’ mediates the public boundary
by stimulating material exchanges.
The structure is installed along the side street leading from the main road down to the pier. The frames are installed along a natural border of shrubs and trees and blend into the existing natural barrier.
Large Openings give access to the large maintenance machines and when open function as generous entrances for visitors during events.
The depth of the wooden fence are frames for drying, storing and sharing the natural resources that are cut and harvested during the year on the Campus of the Vienna Choir Boys. The Fence is storage and point of exchange with locals at the same time.
Inspired by the traditional Hay Racks of the area the group developed simple construction principles. To find details and cross bracing that is durable yet efficient to install the group built multiple prototypes to test with various wooden profiles.
