Design and fabrication workshop
Damascus-Syria July 1st to 7th 2012
Architecture students, performing artists, architects and makeup artisits desired to make a living art from their suffering and death through the war in syria, In this respect, art and architecture became thier only survive and a life against the death and war where they are.
What does it mean to create poetry in a time of war? What does it mean to create any art during a time of war?
For us it meant to join again, live and work all together in a workshop with no Sectarianism where too many people and students couldn’t come easily, Where bombs rain down death daily.
Flying back to our life as architects and artist, Elemental was an life exploration around Elements ”objects” as an expression of a multiplicity of conditions (structural, material, formal, cultural, spatial) and the mean by which multiple issues (such as modulation, differentiation and cultural expression) are deployed.
