Cardboard banquet, Cambridge, UK by Studio 2, University of Cambridge + Rentaro Nishimura

First and third-year students from Tom Emerson (of practice 6a), Ingrid Schröder and Max Beckenbauer’s Studio 2 from the Department of Architecture at The University of Cambridge designed this cardboard structure for a banquet on the 23 October to celebrate the new term

After a workshop by paper product designer Rentaro Nishimura, third years set about designing the structure to house 80 people, while first years designed furniture.

The project, an introduction to a year-long unit based on ‘bricolage,’ encouraged the students to think about architecture and limitations - in this case the material capability and time.
