Many people have asked what the design intentions behind this year's Night Market cart design and the team has been fairly secretive about their work. As the Night Market event is a week away, it is time to finally outline the design from its initial concept submitted a few months ago including an initial conceptual sketch:
Dissemination Via
Disassembly
The 2013 [R]ed[U]x Lab design proposal for The Stop Night
Market cart embraces the notion of change over time. Despite the brevity of the
event, many variables evolve during the evening including the ambient light,
volume of people, and food availability.
The design serves as both a vessel for the display and serving of
culinary works, but also an artifact accentuating the event's dynamics. Using a digitally fabricated framework, the
design serves as a lattice supporting a tessellation of components that may be
removed or altered by attendees ultimately transforming the cart into a lantern
by nightfall. The premise is that upon
coordination with the assigned culinary organization, [R]ed[U]x Lab would
design the components to create a suitable taxonomy of units ranging from
serving containers or utensils to small lights or keepsakes. The design intent is that the cart begins the
evening as a monolithic mass that, over the course of the event, is dismantled
and disseminated throughout the crowd casting a wide network of illumination
while simultaneously transforming the cart into an illuminated focal point as
the night draws to an end.
