| DESIGN NAME: S.Joao Structure PRIMARY FUNCTION: Installation INSPIRATION: 's. joao structure' reinterprets the festival's typical street party decoration UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design reflects a typical portuguese street party - locally known as 's. joao'. One of europe's liveliest street festivals, the people of porto pay tribute to saint john the baptist by traditionally hitting each other with garlic flowers or soft plastic hammers. Characterized by the color of ribbons and flags that populate the streets and the fireworks that are launched throughout the night, the 's. joao structure' reinterprets this atmosphere with hanging balloon-like forms that have a reflective, shiny material. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This project is more than an artistic installation is also an interpretation of a secular party where the traditional character of each individual is called to intervene and take part. Thus, it was a project that involved the entire local community so that the party was part of all. In less than one week it was possible to build the structure. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in June 17th and finished in June 30th. The project was designed for a square in Guimaraes, near to city of Porto, which celebrates St. John on June 23. The party lasted two days and the structure was removed after a week.
