Week 2 - Folie Design

"An activator of space," is the phenomenon that was used to describe a Folie by Yasu and by expounding on the word "activator" it implies that there is an agent which brings about activity. 


The Red Telephone Booths designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott is a excellent exemplar of a Folie. It acts as a signifier of space, people are drawn to it and it enables a unique way of identifying with London.


Holt, C. (2005)


It is these understandings which will be applied as the fundamental baseline to DAB510 Folie Design brief.
