MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY COLLABORATES WITH PROSCHE
A double-curved aluminum pavilion that serves as the backdrop for the debut of the car manufacturer’s electric Macan, unveiled at Singapore Art Week. Built as a monocoque shell, the structural strength of the pavilion lies in the curves of its skin, which carries the load and eliminates the need for internal support. Ιnspired by the Macan’s bodywork, the structure features perforations that let light play through during the day, casting shifting patterns across the floor. Constructed in modular components, each part of the construction was prefabricated off-site and assembled on location as puzzle-like modules, minimizing build time and maintaining a look with no visible joints. The result is a continuous, smooth surface that mirrors Porsche’s commitment to refined precision and elegance.
my two cars gagage's fluid form unravels around the car
The structure channels the focus of the German automobile manufacturer on performance and precision with an open, fluid form that spotlights the car as the main attraction, inviting up-close exploration of the design and engineering. Made up of 6,380 uniquely shaped aluminum strips, the double-curved surface of the structure takes shape through advanced computational modeling, optimizing curvature and material efficiency.

THE STRUCTURE OFFERS AN IMMERSIVE SPACE
Set against the backdrop of Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, the structure measures 13.3 meters long, 10.8 meters wide, and 7 meters tall, offering an immersive, engaging environment. With space for two cars and a design that even lets the Macan drive right through, My Two Cars Garage is as much about the performance of the space as it is about the car itself. At night, purple hues illuminate the pavilion and enhance the effect, with a play of light and shadow that gives the structure a sense of motion.
