EPDM (rubber) roll roofing material is used for its cost effectiveness to cover large areas and for elastic and sensual properties. The project seeks to use an existing material in a new way. Rubber roofing is also very workable in terms of cutting patterns, gluing seams, and adding grommets and buttons; it is the closest architectural material to working with bolts of fabric. The material is strong and waterproof. All of these qualities are intensified through the notion of nature punk by allowing the rubber to hold water (and soil) as opposed to its common job of shedding water. As a result, the proposal deploys an aggregation of planted rubber bags to define space, re-brand the existing shop, and to unite technology and nature. Intelligently designed cutting patterns produce varied and custom elements able to define different scales and uses of the retail space, all while producing zero waste. The rubber cladding and supporting elements will all be prefabricated at our shop in Michigan, able to be packed flat for ease of transport, and quickly installed on site. The rubber planters deployed as cladding in the retail space are also designed as consumer items to be sold or given away at the conclusion of the installation. This double ambition of the architectural elements extends the life of the installation while reducing landfill waste and offsetting installation costs. Beyond the logistical benefits already explained, the planting amplifies the sensual potential of the installation. Upon opening the door one will smell scents of rubber mixed with the strong fragrances of the plants and flowers covering the walls. Beyond adding color and smell, the planting will alter the temperature, air quality, and acoustics of the space. An array of microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and lights will be added to the planters adding dramatic interactive effects as people move through the space. As a living material, the planting will also change over the course of the installation, further amplifying the temporal nature of the pop up retail store. The design proposal seeks to offer a vibrant and engaging backdrop to the designer fashions displayed in the space. The proposal is viewed as a strategy open to a collaborative discussion between designer and architect, material and form, customizations and alterations, clothing and installation.
