UTH [design project]
Supervisor : Evelyn Gavrilou . Iris Lykourioti
Based on the Jewish Museum of Berlin by Daniel Libeskind, i create a stamp as a tool of marking different configurations and creating multiple shape combinations in space.
The facade of the building, its epidermis, is the map of Jewish families in Berlin. Literally is a veil which falls and organize space. This building can trigger emotional and behavioral reactions and creates special aesthetic experience. My initial aim wat to transfer this experience to a new 3D space. Capturing parts of the facade to metal pieces I let them reflect on a piece of dow like a puzzle creating a new space of discontinuities and gaps.
The mould of the stamp consists of 8 octagons which are perforated with a circular metal rod giving them the possibility of rotation around its axis. Each of the sides has a formation of the openings in the sides of the museum.
For me the mapping of different shapes in space through a particular mould is what Libeskind sought directly from the museum.
