MODELS FOR BRITISH LAND

The contemporary time is very unstable; it changes from one element to the other. The traditional materials used in architecture are changing their conventional way of operations. For this reason, we would like to expose concrete, bricks, and steel as components in such of modern architectural surrounding as Euston area. It would be in one way reversed and less practical, however would become far more exciting and interactive.

We have also considered the transitional potential of the materials. For example, the shiny surface of a steel bench, exposed to weathering elements, could become dull and rusty, loosing its sparkle. We decided to ‘preserve this moment’ and for that reason we have chosen to use galvanized steel which will protect the surface from getting rusted and damaged.

Taking of another element of transformation, we decided to select the concrete as the second sample,providing stability and time conservation. There is, for many, a natural intrigue in guessing the time; when a certain object was made or for how long has been. This comes as a welcome change in such a time of often predictable and generic modern building and architecture. Bricks are able to tell the time on their surface carrying memories through a lifetime, and with the passing of time the changing of shape.
