Fifth Wall is a mobile spatial installation that floats within the De Vinci lobby space. Functioning as a “surprise box” with dual identities, it presents a clean, minimal front facade while concealing a rich “backstage” environment behind.
The installation operates through its own choreography—expanding and contracting according to cultural programming needs and audience flow. Built on wheels, this 6-meter-long architectural element transforms to accommodate various spatial requirements:
Concept and Design: Lila Chitayat
Client: Ta Tarbut De Vinci
Fabrication and collaboration: Amit Portman
- Day Configuration: Positioned centrally to create intimate seating corners and quiet work areas
- Evening Events: Rotates to present a formal reception front for audiences
- Alternative Programming: Contracts and disappears, clearing the lobby for other activities
