Meet The Designer.......The House of Flags
Anthony Boulanger of AY Architects and his team who designed and executed this most innovative project, the House of Flags, in connection with the Olympic celebrations. 206 panels present the flag icons of all the nations participating in the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
Combined they make a large building jigsaw, a united 'House'. A matrix of symbols, shimmering colours, shadows and perforations invites everyone to experience an image of the world as well as an image of multi-ethnic London. Located on Parliament Square, the installation bridges two very different states: on its exterior the flag motifs demonstratively produce a global image; in its interior the individual identity of each flag is intentionally abstracted, creating a more unified and ambiguous experience of space, volume and light.
