The John Ruskin Competition
The pavilion brief: The John Ruskin Prize is looking to expand and surpass the confines of the art gallery and to harvest the possibilities of interdisciplinary work with architecture. The submissions have been predominantly in two-dimensional media for that last 4 years, with a surge of art objects and installations in the 2017’s instalment; therefore, the desire to emphasise three-dimensional submissions in the 2019 competition was reflected by the collaboration with the RIBA Yorkshire.
The John Ruskin Prize 2019 aims to uphold Ruskin’s beliefs whilst challenging the nation’s creatives to consider their role as catalysts of change, urban dwellers, civic beings, socio-political commentators and material innovators. Open to a broad range of interpretations, the prize organisers are inviting entries from a range of creative architects in response to the theme: “An Urban Artefact- change in the city”.
The theme provides a unique opportunity for artists and architects to create an urban intervention that captures, and is inspired by, the true nature of the city, focusing on producing an intervention located in Sheffield’s Train station square.
ADAPT Studio. took part in this wonderful opportunity in creating an ‘Urban artefact’ for The John Ruskin Prize. Using the process of 3D Printing we have created an artefact which was inspired by artist ‘Richard Serra’. We are fond of Serra’s work and it has inspired us to create this fabulous artefact which takes on a few concepts and ideas as well as reflects on the civicness of Sheffield
