After a long hard day at the office it is now 5:03, and we are taking a moment out to reflect on the day…
Today we made a few steps forward… The arrival of one of our key building materials; cardboard formwork for concrete columns. This will act as the base of our structural work. We chose the cardboard as a material as we needed something that conversed with the pre-existing conditions on site. From our sites front door, the main view is of the d
iscarded pier pylons that have been decorated, as part of an art installation, with white hats. We thought, as these were unique to our site that we would like our work to reference them, almost as if they had started to creep up onto the boardwalk and arrived on our site…
After the excitement of the delivery it was all hands on deck as we began to measure and cut our columns down to size. With the generator as our sound track the site was a-buzz!
Our aim for tonight is to have all of our columns cut down to size and have their positions on site finalised! It will, no doubt, be a late one. But, we will just increase layers and huddle together when it gets cold! We will report in when we are too tired to move…
