At Home in the Modern World

Cardboard Workshop

A celebration of all things impromptu and participatory, Kawamata's Cardboard Workshop at the Centre Pompidou in Paris has seen many different rebirths over the past few months. Over the weekend, I took a brief survey of this playful exhibit and its kindred architectural 'commentaries' on the exterior of the famous inside-out-building.
 

Tadashi Kawamata is a masterful interventionist wielding the use of humble materials beyond cardboard, such as discarded timber, pallets, chairs, and packaging materials, while constantly championing the concept of 'work in progress.'
