Mediante el uso de tanques traslúcidos de 1000 litros de capacidad, una sencilla estructura metálica y palés de madera como base transportable para el volumen, se soluciona la iluminación, el mobiliario y la distribución de espacios con un bajo coste económico. La solución en este caso no deriva de un afán de originalidad per se, si no en un diseño basado en la reutilización o refuncionalización de elementos que tras unos pocos usos, a veces solamente un uso, pasan a ser considerados residuos sin que el ciclo de vida real del material haya superado siquiera el 1% de su total.

Urban scale light installation for music festival lowlands from re-used watertanks

240 water tanks

The challenge was to camouflage a rather big and unesthetic tent with a given performance function with water tanks.
Simple shape with a changing message. 

The word WURST (german for sausage) continously changed into the word WORST (dutch for sausage), later into DURST (german for thirst) and into DORST (dutch for thirst).

Mobile bar installation

 "the italian town Terni has a lot of space for cars so everyone has one or two, strangly there are only two bicyclepaths...and only on the bridge over the river which is as yet mostly neglected as public space.

So we decided to make a a mobile bar with lights from a crossover of old bikes and ibc containers with wheels form used garbage bins...in three days"
