Entry #591842357 THE FABRIC SHELTER
DESIGN STATEMENT Halfway between a fresh tunnel and a green roof. Halfway between a shading fabric a colored field. The structure is made by wooden boards connected each other. The shape of the structure is an arch and it also looks like a portal. It supports jute sacks filled with soil. On each sack grows a different species of Sedum.
The composition of different species and colors makes a pattern that looks like a typical Ghanaian fabric: the Kente fabric. Between the sacks and the structure there is a steel net. It supports the sacks which are also sewed to it.
We would like that our land art work could help to spread the “green roof culture” to increase the comfort of living and to reduce the energy consumption. In this way we would like to talk about sustainability.
Budget: 1 Local skilled laborer x 10 days = 100$ 3 unskilled laborers x 10 days = 210$ Heavy wood beams: 1200$ Bags of cement: 150$ Jute sacks: 130$ Soil: 100$ Seeds: 70$ Metal ware: 500$
Total: 2460$
