Xan Browne is writing an industrial PhD with Lendager Arkitekter, looking to apply waste wood in structural contexts. Combining this with Lendager's ongoing MUDP project with Mijøstyrelsen, upcyling concrete binded brickwork, was the basis of this exhibition piece for Planetary Boundaries, an exhibition at The Royal Danish Academy, in Copenhagen. Flock did the detail design and development of the joinery in the two structural columns, holding 600kg of cutout brickwork.
Further, Flock produced the two structural pieces, testing the geometry of the joinery hands on. The joints are cnc milled and the columns are then nailed together using wooden nails, making it a 100% wooden construction. Project partners: Lendager Arkitekter, The Royal Danish Academy, Cowi, Logik & Co, Miljøstyrelsen, !pu., Tscherning, Hempcrete.dk.
