The Cubic Structural Evolution Project
The Cubic Structural Evolution Project encourages visitors to become ‘architects’ by creating and re-creating structures.
The project consists of thousands of pieces of white lego scattered on a 12-metre-long table.
A hands-on installation The Cubic Structural Evolution Project by Danish-Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson is on display at Auckland Art Gallery. On loan from the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, it comprises thousands of pieces of white LEGO bricks scattered on a 12-metre-long table. Visitors to Auckland Art Gallery become ‘architects’ by using the LEGO to create and re-form structures.
See cityscapes emerge and constantly evolve as new visitors contribute to the work through construction, modification, destruction and re-construction – the processes inherent to the lifecycle of any metropolis. It is a great way for younger (and older) generations to get interested in the possibilities of architecture.
