Rethink Architektur

Aarhus was chosen as the European City of Culture for 2017 alongside Pafos (Cyprus). Therefore, the Municipality of Aarhus organised different activities themed Let's Rethink, including the architectural design competition Rethink Architecture Pavilion. We came up with the idea to make a brick pavilion in landscape design.

Crushed bricks are spread over the park forming a volcano-shaped hill with a massive circular Gabion wall in its centre. Being crushed, different types of bricks create the character of space through sound and motion. Small pieces of bricks shake under the feet as an instrument, allowing children to discover different shapes to be used for playing. Music, film, and dance are brought together in an interactive landscape.

As the basic element of the Danish building method, bricks raise attention to the consumption and recycling of construction resources. The audio visual render of our proposal can be seen in the work of Michèle Anne De Mey "Love Sonnets" (1993).
