Public Display, No Time To Waste! The Role of Materials: In Architecture

Artist and spacial designer Michael Bennett found inspiration in the profound interplay of materials and space. His exploration delved into the captivating world of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), a construction material used by Michael as an artistic medium that helped him combine the weight of mass, the lightness of space, and the poetry of connection.

Join the series of conversations with renowned guests onsite.  These gatherings promise to engage, inform and present a call-to-action for our industry and communities.  

Balanced to perfection, Public Display, relies on the qualities of CLT, in its strength and beauty,  elevating the concept of “mass” to an art form.  Tension arises when a weighty object occupies space, yet it instills a sense of peace and tranquility. The installation not only holds substance in form, it also evokes aspirations, dreams, and maybe the impossible; a spatial composition crafted to facilitate public gathering for connection and communication.

In pursuit of pure geometry and artistic expression, Public Display holds space for dialogue, stories of human experience, revelation, and introspection with a robust program of conversations focused on sustainability, repurposing, and the elimination of the world’s waste.
