Each person in Studio FMP was asked to produce a 3 dimensional artefact which represented our initial thesis proposal. As my proposal was not set in stone at the time and is still a fluid process, which is evolving day by day, I decided to plan something that I could make on our study field trip in Mallorca and leave in Mallorca after presenting it to the group. The watering can mould was cut in the UK (representing growth from nature) and the other materials were sourced locally in Mallorca. The idea of making an ice sculpture was to show a relationship with nature which I feel is important in design. Materials and resources are being extracted from the earth in the building process but the building can give back to nature over time if designed with a deep rooted environmental consideration. The sculpture melted over a few hours in Mallorca strong sunshine, revealing the indigenous flora encapsulated within and the ice/water soaks back into the earth.
