Experience the intersection of computational engineering and public art. Rising from the waters of Downtown Cary Park, L’île Folie is a "mirage made solid"—a contemporary pavilion that reimagines the 19th-century French folly for the digital age.
Designed by Marc Fornes / THEVERYMANY, this ultra-thin structure features a self-supporting aluminum skin, eliminating the need for internal framing. In this video, we explore the sensory experience of the pavilion, from the dappled light patterns filtering through its shell during the day to its transformation into a glowing lantern by night.
