Fortel aneb postav si dům / Dexterity, or build your houseNetrefová, Klára Unknown Date (has links)
The design of anthropoid / metamorphosis loosely follows the pre-diploma project Fortel or so called "build a house" when I decided to "put my hand to the work, cut, drill, fold…" and to rediscover the imprints of work and tools in the mass from which they disappeared due to the mass production. The output of the project was an eclectic, crumbling garden of prefabricated bricks. Capillary (open) porosity usually occurs in brick products. It allows the penetration and retention of a relatively large amount of water. The bricks are made of natural mineral raw materials, as well as expanded clay, which is commonly used as a hydroponic substrate. At the same time, the porosity of the brick blocks causes future degradation of the material in the exterior. The disrupted "worked" ceramic blocks in the garden burst, mix with the substrate and create a breeding ground for plants. In my diploma thesis I move away from materials formed into modules, imported to the construction site, and I deal with matter in its freest fluid form and forms arising in-situ. The work is permeated by three fluid media, water, clay and concrete. Concrete - initially a fluid material, takes the form of two other materials, solidifies. Clay - as a semi-solid - semi-fluid material Water - infinitely fluid material, still present, rapidly transforms, and periodically comes and disappears, transforms the other two materials. The materials mix together, form into matter, then drain and disintegrate and disappear when their time comes. With these nature-friendly processes, the design works on three scales. On a micro scale, matter decomposes into gravel, sand, loess, which nourishes soils and plants, and allows an environment suitable for a variety of animals. In the middle scale, these are small objects that shape and manipulate the landscape. And in a big scale, it is co-working with the landscape itself.
