The Drawing Board

‘The Drawing Board’ is a team of architecture students from SAUL, the School of Architecture at the University of Limerick. They were asked to contribute to the Table of Contents exhibition. The exhibition curators from LSAD, the Limerick School of Art and Design, are looking for an indoor installation to facilitate the viewing of a short documentary film. The conception and design of this installation will become part of the exhibition as an exemplar of architectural creativity.

Forces take form

Friday, 16th July, 2010.

A day spent making collages and models at large scale sees our four points and reality issues meet. These forces have made our first recognisable form (there is also a small cameo made by our missing donkeys).

What could possibly go wrong?

What is it made of?

What goes if the budget is cut by half?

Our model (maquette) you see in the collage is made from a grey card, but that is not a material we are planning on using. We have been looking at materials that will have an after life after the exhibition finishes. Ideally, the installation will be disassembled and the constituent materials will be recirculated into the lives of the art college or the broader economy. We are also looking for materials that relate to the place. For example freshly washed linen is one we have been exploring. The place is the Church Gallery in Limerick College of Art and Design. The church that the gallery now occupies was originally built for a Magdalene Laundry which the college is now inhabiting. There is still a laundry active on the site.
