Last year we invented right here in Lewes; the KinShip
This year; we are to launch the:
KinShip 2; Another unique mobile community structure.
The structure will be demountable and easily transportable and embrace multi-functionality and camaraderie as a key ingredient........a romantic dinner, a chance meeting, a tabletop sale, a cooking demonstration, a sanctuary or something not yet invented or dreamt of….
Materials:
Locally sourced, sustainable/re-used materials eg birch, larch, norwegian spruce, hazel, hornbeam...Salvaged materials, Seasoned timber, Corrugated iron, plywood, canvas, tarpaulin
Fixings:
Tension cable, bolts, screws, steel strap, brackets, threaded bar.
Approach:
Explore traditional and modern practices, materials, forms, ideas.
Design:
For comfort, conviviality, durability, ease of assembly, disassembly, storage, low maintenance...
The intention is that this structure will be presented to the people of Lewes and that different community groups and societies will be able to use it.
The structure should have adaptability built into its design and realisation, optimising its potential for further evolution and capacity to grow through its future use.
To this end; we hereby invite you to brainstorm from now!
