Articulé - Architecture in Motion

Articulé - Architecture in Motion - is a miniature book object created in 2015 for an exhibition with the Swiss bookbinding group buchundform. The displacement of hinges and the incorporation of movable elements give the object a great potential for transformation. This potential will be explored, tested and put into practice during this course. The starting point is the technique of the board book - a book made of thick board pages, commonly known from children's books. The aim of the course is to extend this technique to build book objects with mobile elements. For this purpose, the participants are asked to let themselves be inspired by this creative and playful way of building books with mechanical mobility. Thanks to the use of metal, Tyvek etc., Suzanne transforms the book into a small mobile architecture.
