plan 4(1) (scale 1:2) - pigeon tower
temporary artwork in the city of Lo
The work plan 4(1) (scale 1:2) – pigeon tower lo is located in the city of
Lo, next to Lo’s existing pigeon tower. Around the city of Lo many buildings have
been rebuilt after being destroyed during World War I. plan 4(1) (scale 1:2) – pigeon tower lo reflects the idea of reconstruction and originality through its
built form as a new pigeon tower. The measurements of the octagonal ground
plan of the work are equal to the interior diameter/plan of the existing pigeon
tower. The grid of plan 4(1) (scale 1:2) – pigeon tower lo is based on the
interior of the existing pigeon tower which is divided into compartments where
the pigeons nest. The work consists of wooden planks treated with a green
protective coating that fades away over time. The grid is constructed with planks
that are solely connected by half lap joints to create a self-supporting main structure.
