'playtime' installation
all images courtesy of krads
'playtime' is a travelling workshop developed by icelandic and danish architectural practice krads in collaboration
with danish toy manufacturer LEGO. on show at the reykjavík art museum in iceland during designmarch 2011
the workshop provides a space in which the public can explore and study various architecture themes
and principles through LEGO.
up close of the built LEGO land which was the centre piece for 'playtime'
at the centre of the platform, krads builds-up an architectural scenario out of LEGO with loose pieces of the building bricks
surrounding it for the public to interact with the existing structures and experiment with the built forms.
being a strictly modular system, the bricks pose a challenging obstruction as only the one medium is allowed in the workshop.
at the same time, they are an ideal medium for quickly building up forms and spaces, testing ideas and provide easy assembly
and dismantling. a total of 65 kils of lego bricks are used.
