  • Cook Folly, in a nutshell, will function as a restaurant. As a work of art, however, it is expected to become a bottom-up model for urban regeneration in a run-down part of the city in desperate need of revitalization.

  • Mini Folly is a folly for pleasure and entertainment of sort. Korean architect Kook Hyoung-gul, Syn Sue-Gyeong and Leif Høgfeldt Hansen, architect and professor at Aarhus University, are leading the project. Overcoming the innate limit coming from the site of a folly, it will be traveling around various places from the Biennale Square to others, allowing flexibility in its function and usage and connectivity with other works.
