PLAYTIME


16 students of architecture, 2 weeks, 65 kilos of Lego

Play is important - especially when you are dead serious about what you're doing. "PLAYTIME" is a workshop created by KRADS Architecture in collaboration with Lego Concept Lab. For the past 2 weeks first year students at the architectural department at Iceland´s Academy of the Arts have participated in the workshop - working on various projects using only the elementary Lego bricks as the medium for their ideas. An exhibition showing the work of the students opens today at Hugmyndahúsið, Grandagarði 2, at 16:00.
The show will be open until the 20th of may.
Visit the workshop's website here.
