Concrete is used more than any other construction material in the world. We have spent the first part of the summer term working on the design for the concrete wall, 700 meter long and 3 meter tall. The purpose of the exercise is to develop understanding of the relationship between the fabrication processes and the design intent. Work process was structured around the series of plaster models meant to simulate casting techniques used in the building industry. We have chosen concrete for its plasticity and tactile diversity. Selected projects apply varied casting techniques and use moulds differently to produce texture effects. Some designs depend on the physical properties of the materials used for their moulds. Others take advantage of the clever use of mould geometry to produce non repetitive configurations. Results are displayed at our image gallery: 0910M5WorkshopZeed

Beton se korisiti više of bilo kog drugog građevinskog elementa. Prvi deo letnjeg semestra smo posvetili dizajnu betosnkog zida, dužine 700 metara i visine 3m. Svrha vežbe je razvoj razumevanja procesa materijalizacije, odnoso veze između postavke prostorne ideje i njene reazlicije. Radni proces je struktuiran kroz proizvdonju serije gipsanih modela kojima je simulirana tehnika izlivanja betona u građevinskoj industriji. Izbarali smo beton zbog njegove plastičnosti i taktilne raznovrsnosti. Izabrani projekti proizilaze iz specifičnih tehnika izlivanja i koriste oplatu da bi postigli različite teksture. Geometrija nekih rešenja zavisi od fizičkih karakteristika materijala upotrebljenog za izradu njihovog kalupa. Druga rešenja koriste geometriju oplate za postizanje kontinulne diferencijacije forme na ekonomičan način
