Eco-Friendly Pop-up Architecture
Sources for Materials, Products and Objects
A course by Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno , Architect
About the video: Sources for Materials, Products and Objects
Overview
“Since this course is intended to empower students to build full-scale prototypes, a key aspect for your success will be to settle a systematic collection and classification of leftover objects and used materials for the purpose of building your design. In this lesson, you will learn how to do this. You have to try to gather all the necessary primary materials for constructing your design locally. I will show you how a group of collaborators and I drove a van around Manhattan to retrieve damaged bikes, while umbrellas were donated by custom security services and broken wheels were found at local car depots for our Organic Growth Pavilion in NY.”
In this video lesson Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno addresses the topic: Sources for Materials, Products and Objects, which is part of the Domestika online course: Eco-Friendly Pop-up Architecture. Learn to design small scale installations from scratch by exploring the principles of circular economy.

In general, designers and architects start thinking about something with very blurred, ambiguous, fuzzy drawings in which they don’t really know, which materials they'll be using. Many times, we use our pencil to recreate shapes and forms that we create with our intuition....”
