WORKSCAPE THEATRE
ReLiving the city – bi-city biennale of urbanism and architecture Shenzhen, 2016
Imagined and conceived for Shenzhen UABB "Reliving the city", this bamboo installation considers potential working environments within a domestic setting. Designed by studio Makkink&Bey, the Workscape Theatre is divided into three sections containing the workplaces of guests alumni from Design Academy Eindhoven : Dan Adlešič, Fiona du Mesnildot and Echo Yang. The three designers were invited to create a collaborative exhibition that would generate a dialogue with those attending the event.
At this occasion Mesnildot lead a workshop with students from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.
They where asked to re-appropriate pieces of elastic textiles printed with fragments of domestic artefacts in order to stage and challenge their ideas and perception upon dwelling.
