Escape Vehicle #9
J & J carter were approached by Studio Morison to design Escape Vehicle #9 for the Dutch Art Festival in the Netherlands.
Studio Morison is an ambitious collaborative practise that transcends the divisions between art, architecture and theatre, facilitating their practise and the projects that are created from it.
The Escape Vehicle provides visitors the chance to spend the night in one of the darkest locations in the Netherlands, using a PVC tensile membrane chosen specifically to curate an intense glow when the sun rises. Comprised of a circular chamber elevated above the ground on four pyramidal aluminium legs, it sleeps only two people.
The chamber has been built using a protective outer layer of specifically commissioned aluminium expanded mesh, and a taut inner curing membranous weather layer of Sauleda VIP FR yellow PVC fabric.
