BREAK AND ENTER
Break and Enter utilises hair as a generative mechanism for designing an intervention into a dark space, a former cold war bunker. The project considers the light filtering qualities of hair and how it might puncture the existing fabric of the building to bring light in. Utilising a forensic view the work de-constructs a clump of hair, considering it as a kit of parts and exploring the architectural implications when combined with a building. Creating a three dimensional grid from the war rooms at the heart of the bunker form is derived through a methodical study of hair, using it as a means to generate one possible arrangement of the intervention. This possible form is modelled in timber and plaster models to observe the materiality and interaction between intervention and the existing concrete structure of the building.
