FORM - Geometry

We would like to explore a dynamic formwork system and its effects on the final geometry


MATERIAL - Composition of concrete

We are interested in the use of an aggregate that is removable, such as wax.


















FINISH - Texture, and surface finish

We want explore the possibilities of concrete finish, whether it be matte/glossy, or a pattern

We are interested in how these unrelated qualities could be integrated together through a series of procedures.  For this reason we are initially interested in wax (removable, and malleable) as an aggregate.  The texture and geometry of the unit will attempt to exaggerate these effects with competing gradients so we have a condition of thin polished and homogeneous concrete at one end and porous matte and thick concrete at the other.





















Our work this week was to start to understand methods of introducing wax as an aggregate and various processes to remove the wax.

solid wax as aggregate


liquid wax as aggregate
