Vera Konietschke & Mariet Sauerwein in conversation with Siebe Bakker on Concrete Design Competition on ENERGY.
ENERGY - exploring Mass & Volume
From August 26 until September 1, 2012 the workshop for laureates of the 5th Concrete Design Competition has taken place at the Cementrum in Den Bosch, Netherlands. The students, all winners in their countries, continued to explore the competition theme during this international event. They had to re-design the facade of the Cementrum building. An unusual concrete facade consisting of elements with a depth of 900 mmm. The students were challenged to activate this depth, either through developing three-dimensional expression or including functional spaces, or both.
The development of ideas took place through discussions, sketched designs and models, but foremost by 'hands-on' working with concrete. Groups produced prototypes in various stages of design development in scale 1:5. One of the proposals was chosen early on to be executed on site in scale 1:1.
The workshop was hosted by the Cement&BetonCentrum which is located at the Cementrum in Den Bosch. A staff of full-time tutors was assisted by expert support, critics and lecturers. A series of lunch-lectures and two key-note lectures by Daan Roosegaarde and Kapser Jørgensen offered a balanced insight in the material concrete, from contemporary techniques and considerations to state-of-the-art innovative developments, research and art.
It was truly a fascinating week, filled with 16-hour working days, great company, fantastic ideas and an unrelenting group of amazing future professionals. Thanks to everyone for their commitment and enthusiam.

KEY-NOTE LECTURERS
Daan Roosegaarde, NL, 1979
artist & architect
principal Studio Roosegaarde
Daan Roosegaarde will lecture on Tuesday evening, August 28, 8PM and will tutor on Wednesday August 29.
Artist and architect Daan Roosegaarde (1979) explores the dawn of a new nature that is evolving from technological innovations by creating interactive landscapes that instinctively respond to sound and movement. Roosegaarde’s remarkable works of art function as a documentation of the dynamic relation between architecture, people, and technology.
His sculptures, such as Dune and Intimacy, are tactile high-tech environments in which viewer and space become one. This connection, established between ideology and technology, results in what Roosegaarde calls “techno-poetry”.
In 2009, Roosegaarde won the Dutch Design Award. He has been the focus of exhibitions at the Tate Modern, the National Museum in Tokyo, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and various public spaces in Rotterdam and Hong Kong.

Kasper Guldager Jørgensen, DK
architect
head of GXN, associate partner 3XN
Kapser Jørgensen will lecture on Fruday evening August 31, 8PM and will appear as critic at the final presentation on Saturday September 1.
3XN’s Research department, GXN, is established in order to exploit the possibilities that arise when you apply the latest knowledge and technology.
The idea is that the expertise and know-how from the department should be implemented in the work of the office.
By using new materials and technologies, 3XN will develop a building culture that positively affects the world in which we live – architecturally and environmentally.
Digitalisation has given designers, engineers and architects new tools to work with. This has led to new design and production methods that can generate a new type of architecture. The natural sciences are also moving fast. Within the fields of biology, chemistry and physics it is today possible to design materials that meet specific needs.
