In collaboration with Golden Days, Norm Architects created the spatial design and architecture for Bloom, a festival of nature and science situated in the heart of one of Copenhagen’s largest parks, Søndermarken. From enchanting walks and talks, to mind-blowing installations and workshops, the festival sought to engage and inspire, sparking curiosity and wonder in the universe, the natural world and what it means to be human.
Taking its inspiration from world of the science laboratory, the spatial concept explored the idea of what we may notice and what we readily overlook. A series of installations throughout out the festival site prompted visitors to consider form, materiality and alternative perspectives. From large scale installations to smaller dispersed forms, the modular podiums blurred the boundaries between function and art – creating spatial installations for people to use, adapt and reconfigure. This allowed a constantly evolving spatial narrative throughout the festival period. Mirror was also used to frame unusual views, reflecting the viewer and the surrounding natural landscape.
