Developed to engage existing structures, DO NOT REMOVE Brace Systems 01 tests how cultures implements use, maintenance and values to make decisions regarding their surroundings. With-in the courtyard at Bread & Salt the system’s, wood posts, and nylon rope, frames allude to the removal and conservation of the buildings existing infrastructure. The handcrafted element seeks to spark conversations about the values placed on construction techniques while also questioning the use of unsustainable building materials which have no other option than to become ‘physical debt’ for future generations.
To test these cultural perceptions of use, maintenance, and values, the system’s frames will be continually repositioned and enlarged to further engage the space in different ways.
