WASTE, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
In the lecture Jimenez brought up five main points with which he used at least one of Bureau Spectacular’s (B.S.) projects to describe and define what was being researched and discovered through each point: Posture, Materiality, Fitness, “Meta-Modernism”, and Afterlife. What impacted me the most was how he contrasted the Tower of Twelve Stories and Pool Party. During the Fitness portion Jimenez showed the Tower of Twelve Stories (Above 1), which was a project built for the music festival Coachella in 2016 in which B.S. began to ask questions like “Can you make a 3D collage?”, “Can you be contextual?”, and how they could make something cartoonish, into architecture. They built this fictional apartment building in a steel frame cladded with wood (Above 2) to be a blank slate allowing the project to be flexible and without distinction to any viewer giving them the opportunity to imagine what the will about the structure. Jimenez discussed that he disliked how wasteful this project was, realizing after the festival that all the material used on the Tower of Twelve Stories was to just be ripped apart and thrown away; this fact bothered him and his colleagues immensely.
This consequence of unnecessary use of materials lead to the firms next large project, Pool Party (Above 3). At the beginning of this project they began asking significantly different questions based on what they learned with the previous project. They wanted to be able to design something by only finding and reusing materials that will also have an Afterlife. This project was the last one he brought up which I find compelling because he wanted the idea of recycling and reusing materials to stand out the most and give inspiration for the rest of us to do the same. Pool Party is surprisingly intriguing in its visual state and, more importantly, its deeper meaning that does not necessarily stand out to typical viewers. They designed this project with their main focuses on creating an urban living room specifically for relaxation and deploying a “’catch-and-release’ material strategy.” I find it so essential that all designers begin to think this way, our world has so many things that have become useless and we need to give those objects new meaning instead of trying to create more things that will ultimately become useless, lying in someone’s garage or buried in the dumps of reality.
