Art Wood

The design installation Art Wood was a contribution to the dev9t festival 2017 in Belgrade. The 30 sqm pavilion was set up on a pile of debris in a former brickyard and based on a structural design principle that allows for its destinct design. Art Wood was a follow-up project of Mikado urban furniture.

The design is based on a structural principle where the top panel is held up and statically locked by poles that are put through at varying angles. Due to the frictional forces the construction is not reinforced with any screws, bolts or other fittings.. The lightweight top panel consists of OSB boards stuffed with the 1:1 blueprints used for their on-site fabrication, whereas black steel tubes serve as poles. The arrangement of the poles organizes the space below the roofing by accumulation and scattering of the vertical structure, creating a captivating spatial experience. As the poles are simply slid through the roofing their actual height adapts to the site topography, enabling the pavilion to be set up on uneven terrain.
