Using the materials provided in class, make a single vessel to grow a single plant.
- Envision a Volume
- Envision a Void
Your vessel should be smaller in cubic dimension 8”x8”x8” (it can/should be smaller) and should use less that 1.3 gallons of concrete.
- Think sculpturally
- Think modular
- Think Stackable
- Think formally
- Think Systematically
- Think about the relationship of mould to form
Use pink foam, adhesive, tape, and caulking to create the mould.
Use concrete, sand, and water to create the vessel.
- Photo-document your process
- Record your concrete mixture
- Save you mould pieces
- Create a Blog-Entry that describes in text and images your vessel and process
This design/build workshop explores the processes of precast modular building technology as it relates to an expanding concept of Horticultural Building Systems. For the purpose of this studio, Horticultural Building Systems are defined as the instance where vegetation and an architectural/tectonic system exist in a mutually defined and intentionally designed relationship that supports plant growth and an architectonic concept.
