About the project
The main goal was to create an environment that combines nature and human elements (concrete) in a soft and comfortable landscape where one can play as a child, but also relax for a while. It should be a small utopia where people can do whatever they want.
To create an imperfect landscape that connects to natural elements, @rens_design, and @artkour choose to use 3D printing technology, which allows them to incorporate earth colors like real earth (layers use) but also allows the chance to create round and organic shapes. The layers that are visible give the environment a natural complement and create a nice balance between the imperfect and the perfect.
The story: 500 years ago there was a group of people that found some gold in the river. They didn’t want to use the gold but wanted to protect it. The only way was to build a community around this area for people who would protect the gold as well as the space around it.
