First Prize for Carlo Leonardi: Master architectuur | Bouwen met staal
Click below for an overview of the Master Thesis Project
The use of corten steel in the design is linked with the investigation upon the aesthetics of the ironer mining sites. Instead of neglecting dissonances through a traditional recovery plan, making the dissonance somehow visible, showing that ecosystems get interrupted, helps to feed the sustainability debate. In this context, corten steel contributes by communicating a story that cannot be left untold through a sublime experience. The language of this material is intended not simply to condemn the wounds of the past, but also to rethink future actions and the human-nature relationship.
