Introduction

Jean-Pascal Flavien’s folding house (to be continued) was inaugurated in summer of 2016 in the gardens of Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. folding house (to be continued) is a "work to live in," between architecture and sculpture. The house has an open structure except for a small enclosure. The continuation to which the title refers is also textual: conversations regarding the project and the built structure continue the act of unfolding. As a house which “speaks” and which is spoken by its occupants through the simplicity and force of its system, folding house (to be continued) continues into language.
