TINKER'S HOUSE

A new installation in collaboration with Arlette

Excerpt from our proposal:
In our proposal for the Architecture Foundation installation we aim to conjure the idea of enchantment with transcribed imagery from a derelict house. We are bringing a familiar, domestic environment into Zaha Hadid’s new, maybe intimidatingly big and transparent structure.

The abandoned house itself is reduced to five 2.4meter high sheets of etched glass, which are accessible from all sides, forming a new kind of space. We change dimension, scale, utility, purpose, material and context of the derelict house.

The familiarity of the image is still there, but in a transformed state: crystallized and transparent, engaging the viewer to walk around it.

Our installation therefore aims to build a bridge between familiar and unfamiliar. By using big sheets of glass, which are an integral part of most contemporary architecture, we also imply that new materials have something magical to them, it is a transformation of space, a new, enchanted kind of shelter.

We find out in May or June if we got it
