YO:MA CONCRETE OR BEACHES, THE DEATH AND RISE OF ARCHITECTURE. FROM SAND YOU HAVE COME. TO SAND YOU SHALL RETURN.FROM A BROAD PALETTE OF WONDROUS MATERIALS THAT IMPLODES THE LIMITATIONS OF STANDARD SOLUTIONS, YOU SHALL RISE AGAIN. THE WORLD CAN'T SUSTAIN ONE-WAY THINKING, JUST AS IT CAN'T SUSTAIN ONE-WAY CONSUMPTION, AS THIS LEAVES THE WORLD TREMBLING ON ONE LEG, CREATING A SHAKY FOUNDATION.IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE STEAK ON YOUR PLATE IS FINDING ALTERNATIVES, SO IS THE SANDWICH ELEMENT OF THE WALL. WHAT WAS ONCE LIMITED BY A GIVEN IS NOW A DIVERSE PALETTE OF OPTIONS, ALLOWING FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS INTO LOCAL RESOURCES, CLIMATE, AND THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE, AND IT ALL SEEMS BEAUTIFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED AS THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS ALIGNS, REWINDING ARCHITECTURE AND THE WORLD AHEAD.

Refshaleøen, Copenhagen
Public exhibition
                                          Text

A digital platform of 3D scans, available in a physical sculpture “forever”.

Contains 3D scans from the whole island, uploaded by people as a memory of small or big things that gave/gives Refshaleøen its special character. The black box, like on a plane, is a record of everything that has happened/is happening on the Island.

In this way the black box becomes a new urban function, that could be present in all neighbourshoods containing memories of the movement of time

The black box becomes a physical sculpture that can be consumed, just as one consumes the older digital memories and records. The black box and its ever-expanding data will remain on the island and be accessible forever. A new urban function
