REVISIT ~ earth:work
How can the materials we choose and how we develop them define and influence care and maintenance in architecture?
By exploring the process and potential of rammed earth as a spatial element and its relation to the human body we wanted to investigate how the action of care can be continuously applied in the context of the domestic interior.
We initiated the process by unfolding the different domains of care. We investigated care in terms of the tectonic, practical and phenomenological aspect through the act of building to the finished object with an intent of continuous care and maintenance throughout the objects lifetime.
This is a visual montage of the different steps and explorations throughout the process of creating two spatial sections of a interior wall. And developing a maintenance scheme as an act of radical care.
earth:work was a collaborative project developed together with Emilie Schleppegrel, Hedda Klar and Constantin Scholz.
