je eigen gang gaan (the modular school)
By: Skafte Aymo-Boot and Kristina Andersen
A work method for co-designing units of change,
larger than furniture and smaller than buildings.
Change your school. Build your own educational space.
Work fast, repeat, switch scale, strategy and material.
Pay attention to the immediate space around the body.
01
Scale 1:100
Material: Candy
Strategy: Subtraction
What is your main concern at school?
Build a tiny unit of change for the little model figure using only candy.
Pay attention to the immediate space around the body.
02
Scale: 1:50
Strategy: Deconstruction
Rebuild the candy unit in a new material and a new scale.
Turn the match box into an object that is bigger than furniture and smaller than a building.
03
Scale: 1:20
Material: Foam board
Strategy: Synthesis
Architectural synthesis objects based on the candy and match box models made by the students in the previous steps.
04
Scale: 1:1
Material: Cardboard
Strategy: Size
How big is it really? Work together to construct 1:1 models from cardboard and tape.
05
Scale: 1:1
Material: Plywood
Strategy: Construction
Units constructed in multiplex. Built for disassembly and re-use. Examples 5.1 - 5.3.
5.1 One-person work unit. A minimal space to work, reflect and hide.
5.2 Magic box. Keeping your work safe. Movable container for tools and work in progress.
5.3 Foldable stairs. Somewhere to sit, discuss and present from. A movable space for assembly.
