The Concrete Cube workhop
concentreted its skills on developing and exploring the qualities of
concrete over two weeks.
14 students,
under the leadership of two tutors Emma
Bremenstent and Rasmus Feddersen from the Danish Royal Academy,
started their workshop by walking around the city to gain inspiration
last week. They visited the area around Christchurch, where their
final exhibition shall take place, as well as other important sites
in Dublin. After this participants, led by their tutors, created many
small cubes with different colours, structure, texture and surface
patterns to understand concrete as a material and explore its
possibilities.
The main part of the
workshop comprised of final products being created during the second
week by the students. Despite the assigment name, Concrete Cube,
students were not forced to keep this form in theirs design. The idea
was to concentrate their skills on site specific final products with
the cubic shape considered only as a starting point. Students are
working in pairs and created their final pieces in the final days of
the workshop. You will see the 7 final designs near Christchurch for
two weeks after the final exhibition.
