‘Plastic Ivy’

Team : Boukouvala Maria Aglaia, Kotsani Euthimia-Dimitra, Psaltis Stelios, Sourvinou Ioanna, Tsakiridis Giorgos, Vlassi Georgia.

Starting -off by looking for everyday disposables to use as material for our design, we created an in-situ installation for a neglacted historic city point.

Plastic disposable forks are usually found as garbage in this part of the city but now they are used to create a ‘plastic ivy’ growing in height by joining fork combinational elements that grip from the bumpy sides of the walls. The plastic fork, beside its recyclable nature, shows also advanced material properties such as flexibility and resistibility.

LEFT The basic element, the single fork, is glued in pairs. Three of those pairs make a stable unit, a triangle, joined with screws and nuts at touching points.

BELOW LEFT Two basic unions connected to each other, forming a triangle, leaving eight open ends.

ABOVE The triangles are especially strong due to their ridig triangular center and at the same time their ends are flexible to bend and twist to a certain point.

RIGHT A basic module. Three triangles connected to a single node, capable of rotating around it.

BELOW Union of four in a hexagonal arrangement. It is the basic geometry to span the height of the construction with the least amount of material, at the time being structurally capable of lifting itself.

ABOVE top: views of the physical model inside a simulation of the site. below: front view of the anticipated growth of the model. The hexagonal pattern disolves into an atypical condition.

Salamina Labyrinth Project_2012 The private School of Hill in Athens assigned to the organization ‘Architects Without Frontiers’ the construction of a labyrinth for its summer kids camp site in the island of Salamina.

We designed and constructed the labyrinth with hay and clay, based on experimental building methods.
