15.09.11 Animated Unobtainiums
Tsukumogami are a type of Japanese spirit, living inanimate objects which have inspired Michael Wolfson to produce a series of experimental studies using Concrete Canvas. As a concrete, the material possesses an inherent strength, and as a fabric, it has an innate organic quality and movement. In it's raw state it can be seen as a finished product, not requiring polishing, sanding, painting, which is required of any other material or process. The intrinsic life of the material stimulates a conscious awareness of the senses for an immediate response - modelling and moulding the raw flesh-ness of the material from an idea, a thought or feeling, rather than developing the works through sketch phases, analysis and then development stages.

Erosion of the steep railway slope trenches had caused silting at the drainage pumps in the tunnel entrance. Shotcrete has long been the traditional solution, but presents several problems with installation and durability. CC8 was specified and 2500sqm of material was delivered on site in bulk rolls.

10.03.10 Edale Ditch Project...
In February 2010, a section of the embankment along the high speed train line from Altringham to Chesterfield was at risk of destabilising due to surface water run-off from surrounding fields. Network Rail needed to resolve the issue quickly with minimum disruption of services and time on site for contractors. A further issue was the limited access due to the proximity of the train line and adjacent farmer’s field. Based on the success of previous ditching trials, Network Rail decided to utilise Concrete Canvas to upgrade and line an existing trench. Concrete Canvas minimised the time on site, saving cost and improving safety for personnel. Click here to download the case study.

It focuses not only on form, but also on the context of the design, ethical and cultural considerations, impact, number of people affected, sustainability and level of innovation. Concrete Canvas and the other final nominees were exhibited for six weeks in an array of large acrylic spheres in Kongens Nytorv square in central Copenhagen. These have since relocated to Korea, featuring in the 2007 Gwangju Design Biennale, where they will be exhibited from October 5 & November 3. Visit http://www.indexaward.dk for further information.
