DESIGN
OF THE TIMES -
Dott 07 is a year of community projects, events and exhibitions
based in North East England that explore what life in a sustainable
region could be like and how design – in it’s widest
and not necessarily product based sense - can help us get there.
The Dott 07 Festival is an event which will bring together the results
of the projects and enable all the people involved to share experiences.
a+j burridge proposed 3 concepts for the festival which attempted
to embody and celebrate the ethos of Dott 07; trees, canopy + enclosure.
Trees: An urban forest of 200 trees
was proposed for it’s positive effect on the health &
well being for the habitants of the North East & the environment
as a whole and as a permanent record of Dott 07. On route to their
final home the trees were to spend 3 weeks at the Festival laid
out as an internal wood with clearings where the project would be
animated and discussed.
Canopy: Suspended coloured etfe cushions
provide an animated canopy to the festival space with exciting opportunities
for up lighting and projection.
Enclosure: A dramatic tented central space which provides orientation
and direct links to all outer project zones.
Floor Area: 2500 sq.m
