The notion of replication allows for differentiation, re-scaling and reconfiguration of the components of the University of Canberra campus in a way that takes in to account the dynamic qualities of the Australian landscape and the nature of a university to draw on and create new trajectories of knowledge. Replicator is a system that takes cues from the adjacent environment and reconfigures them through the materiality of the landscape. The ‘campus as a laboratory’ uses the landscape as a ground for experimentation, research, learning and collaboration with community Through the actions of distribution and re-distribution the system negotiates the qualities of the larger context with those of the campus and provides a framework for growth and transformation.

What is described as ‘the plastic soup’ has been trapped by ocean currents and estimates on size range from 700,000km2 to more than 15,000,000km2. We wanted to explore the dynamic relationships between landscape, inhabitation, infrastructure, trade, tourism and waste. We aimed to reformulate a city as a series of choreographed encounters in the plastic soup. Realising we would have to create ‘living’ entities to engage with this dynamic, we created species and ‘released’ them into the environment. The species take on roles of recyclers, consumers and producers. On their journey some species feed off plastic from the ‘soup’ and become part of the farming and recycling infrastructure. Others attract and feed plankton, becoming a carbon sink and food source for marine life. Together, the species intervene in and change the cycles of shipping, trade, tourism, fishing, and become spaces for inhabitation. http://pod45design.com/Thickness-Assembly-and-Connection http://pod45design.com/following/pod45design.com/Thickness-Assembly-and-Connection Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:34:21 +0000 pod 4/5 design 310795 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/strips.jpg" width="670" height="484" width_o="1713" height_o="1240" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/strips_o.jpg" data-mid="1515657" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/TAC_diagram 03_web.jpg" width="670" height="484" width_o="1713" height_o="1240" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/TAC_diagram 03_web_o.jpg" data-mid="1409938" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/TAC_Diagram02_web.jpg" width="670" height="484" width_o="1713" height_o="1240" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25864/310795/TAC_Diagram02_web_o.jpg" data-mid="1409936" border="0" align="left"/> The aim of this project was to understand the temporal organisation of the landscape rather than its constituent parts.

Rather than seeing surface as a two dimensional, infinitely thin layer or terrain, it is reconsidered as a means of continuously registering change in the landscape (in this case wind). The information is mediated and transformed through the material qualities of the surface. As the surface was unable to embed the information, the transformation of the surface was captured through images, film and terrestrial scans.

Riding through Vondelpark without bike lights, I could see some flashing lights, was it a Christmas tree? As I drew near I could see white and red bike lights strung high in a tree. Seeing others do the same, I stopped my bike, climbed up in the tree and retrieved a new set of lights for my bike. I rode through the next night, but by then they were all gone. Fiets Treats was a temporary lighting installation as part of the ‘Pop-Up’ Festival in Amsterdam December 2008. A series of bicycle lights were placed in an iconic tree in Vondelpark along an intensely used bike path. The lights provided a mini event in the journey and the park and provoked interaction the tree itself.
