Vincent Van Duysen Architects were asked for the third time by Carrières Du Hainaut, a leading supplier of the original Belgian bluestone, to design them an exhibition booth for the Interieur 2012 Biennale in Kortrijk. The purpose of the stand was to show visitors the material, its numerous finishes and its possible applications. The concept went beyond the typical trade-show booth and approached the project in an architectural way. A three-dimensional composition was designed, with seemingly monolithic bluestone walls, positioned orthogonally on a grid. The visitors were able to enter the created spaces, and once inside, they were completely enclosed by bluestone in different finishes to allow them to experience the material up close.
Carrières du Hainaut是比利时蓝宝石的主要供应商，Carrières du Hainaut第三次要求文森特·范迪森建筑师为科特里耶克的2012年室内双年展设计展位。展台的目的是向参观者展示材料、其众多的成品及其可能的应用。这一概念超越了典型的贸易展位，并以一种建筑的方式来处理这个项目。设计了一种三维组合物，表面上呈整体的蓝石墙，正交地放置在网格上.参观者能够进入创造的空间，一旦进入，他们就完全被青石包围在不同的结束，使他们能够体验材料近距离。

The composition of surfaces and walls took place across two levels: the walls on the bottom layer created a route, demarcating the various spaces visitors could enter and where they could immerse themselves in the experience. On a higher level, again a composition of surfaces defined a second, cross-shaped space. This area was not accessible, but was clearly delineated, and created different atmospheres in the areas below. This overhead space was lined in gold leaf, lit to create a golden glow in the lower spaces. The stand felt warm and intimate despite the inherently cold nature of the bluestone. The result was a spatial experience with an almost sacred atmosphere, generating a sense of wonder and emotion.
曲面和墙的组成发生在两层之间：底层的墙创建了一条路线，划分了不同的空间访问者可以输入的空间，在那里他们可以将自己沉浸在体验中。在较高的水平上，同样地，表面的组成限定了第二、十字形的空间。该区域不可用，但清楚地描绘了这一区域，并在下面的区域中创建了不同的气氛。这个头顶的空间衬有金色的叶子，点燃，在较低的空间里创造一个金色的光芒。尽管青石本身具有冷的性质，但它仍感觉温暖和亲密。结果是一个具有近乎神圣的气氛的空间体验，产生了一种奇怪和情感的感觉。Photography:Koen Van Damme
