objects from used tires
Millegomme creates objects from used tires! I especially like their installations for nomadic children:
We intend to use building materials that can be found on location, in their habitats and neighborhood, or recycle the materials that we assess will be needed for the building. We are preparing an architectural plan which would envisage an ideology of “living dream house”, but still confined to materials that are residual and harmless to health. The children should be as involved as possible in the applications once the structure is built and the various workshops will facilitate this. The playground should be a result of many different artistic inputs, that is, we intend to invite outside collaborators to help us with the actual design. We are preparing a preliminary base design, with the help of an architect, but we will leave it open for a remake, considering that local participants would want to give an input to this building .
We were using tires, wood, metal, glass as the basic construction materials, and added color, sound and movement application to the basic form. The playground was not only a static physical entity, but a base for workshops, which is its second function.
There is maybe a thin relation to neo-nomads: finding solutions to spacial appropriation. I am curious however about how mobilities influence the creation of objects or how many objects derive from the waste of our world of mobilities.
Via cascoland. Thank you Jo.
