Burn!

Helsinki, Finland, 2012

The workshop took fire, the arch-enemy of architecture, as its construction material. Luis Hilti tutored it with Leonard Gurtner and Daniel Fuchs at the European Architecture Students Assembly “Wastelands” in Helsinki in July 2012. For two weeks the participants worked with matches, fuel and gunpowder at Suvilahti and by the sea. They burnt a model on the sand and wrote “BURN” in fire for a long exposure. A presentation video records the work.
