About Artificial Topography Kunsmatige Topografie

Groot meubels soos 'n grot Dit is die bekroonde projek wat die Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition gewen het. My idee is om die volume binne 'n houer uit te hol om amorfe ruimte soos 'n grot te bou. Dit is slegs van plastiekmateriaal vervaardig. Ongeveer 1000 velle van die sagte plastiekmateriaal met 'n dikte van 10 mm is in 'n kontoerlyn afgekap en soos 'n stratum gelamineer. Dit is nie net kuns nie, maar ook groot meubels. Omdat al die gedeeltes sag soos 'n bank is, en die persoon wat die ruimte binnekom, kan ontspan deur die plek te vind wat geskik is vir die vorm van sy eie liggaam.

Unique Properties
Big Furniture Like a Cave
This is the award-winning project won the Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. My idea is to hollow out the volume inside a container in order to build amorphous space like a cave. It is made of only plastic material. About 1000 sheets of the soft plastic material of 10-mm thickness were cut down in contour line form and were laminated like stratum. This is not only art but also big furniture. Because all the portions are soft like a sofa, and person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.
Dimensions & Packaging
It was spaced out across the shipping container's 40-foot length to create.
Width 2400mm x Depth 6000mm x Height 2400mm

Research
I am a great interest in nature especially the system of nature. Two years ago, my exhibition held in England. In the exhibition, a lot of experimental architectural projects and the execution works in each category that I obtained the inspiration from nature such as “Solar”, “Air”, ”Water”, ”Ground”, “Crystal”, “Biological”, “Flower”, and “Aurora” were exhibited. Because these aimed to approach “Nature” more closely, it was named “Nature-oriented Architecture”.
And therefore, this “Artificial Topography” is the recent project of the Nature-oriented Architecture as “Ground” category.

This was exhibited during from October 1st to November 23rd in Kobe Biennial 2011 in Japan
