Stip
20, Thompson Street, Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
stip- (Latin: compress, compressed, to press together, to pack; related to: stalk, log, stock, trunk of a tree)STIP is a collaboratively developed installation during the summer 2012 in New York City. The over five meters tall lightweight structure is assembled out of ropes and pipe insulation. Over the summer several events were held where Stip was slowly growing, becoming denser and more compressed over time. A simple framework of tensioned ropes between floor and second level was the point of departure. Participants were given no instructions, they could play and experiment with about two hundred pipes and cable binders available at the events. A pliable, soft and erratic structure emerged that creates a nest-like envelope and protected space on the rooftop. The installation questions the top-down design and digital methodologies of contemporary architecture practice. Curated and edited by a tech-savvy crowd, this is an analogue interpretation of digitally grown sensibilities. Collaborators: Matt Choot, Sonya, Gustav Kalm, Maja Ozvaldic
