Summer Voluntary Work // Junkitecture
"One man's rubbish is another man's treasure"
"I'm with you on that one in Southwark, it's rubbish." ENTIRELY MADE OF RUBBISH!!!
A salvaged stage set provides a horribly glitzy backdrop to the seating area in the 'jellyfish belly'
After cladding the scaffold frame with two vertical faces of pallets and one more to add a bit of shape, we clad yet again using sheet materials to keep inside dry. Having salvaged a London skyline set we turned it upside down in order to create an inverted skyline. It was semi-successful but leaves a lot to read into the facade in terms of the material's history.
Check out BLDG's recent post on a beautiful pallet pavilion.
Built with hundreds of identical and unscathed pallets this project has the ability to explore 'the geometric possibilities of the pallet crate'... using a bundle of damaged crates of different sizes as we did in Southwark doesn't allow this kind of precision architecture!
OR for a load of crap on how pallets will kill us and all of our children check this website

its always worth checking out both sides of an argument... however as far as I know there is no argument worth having here
I've used a few pallets next to my bed as a free table space. I'm not especially worried that toxins stored in this wood will kill me...
