South East Makers Club will showcase “Byplace,” an immersive installation by Deptford-based design company Giles Miller Studio and fabricators Aldworth James & Bond at the London Design Festival 2018.Celebrating the marriage between design and making, the large-scale sculptural structure “Byplace” plays on density and perspective, drawing on Giles Miller Studio’s award-winning aesthetic.Situated at the peak of Deptford Market Yard’s historic train carriage ramp, the installation features a series of screens made out of interlocking strips of birch plywood. The strips were all created using a CNC cutting machine, and each one comprises of small circles connected along a central axis.“One of the joys of South East Makers Club is meeting the talented designers, makers, and businesses that are based here. There is a genuine shared desire to work together, to collaborate and help one another to realise bold ideas, and perhaps uniquely, to have fun doing it! Bringing together two local practices, Giles Miller Studio and Aldworth James & Bond, with a shared desire to build and craft with skill and precision, has been a joy. Both companies have been totally enthusiastic about showcasing their work in Deptford. We couldn’t have done it without the backing and support from Deptford Market Yard, who have believed in the project from the outset. Nor could we have done it without Shockledge who are lending their expertise and DHH Timber for the material supply. This is a fine example of collaboration at its best,” Helen Osgerby, Co-Founder, South East Makers Club says.The project is supported by Deptford Market Yard, structural engineering specialists Shockledge and material sponsors DHH Timber.“This architectural sculpture is an experiment in density and perspective, and working in such a collaborative way has enabled us to evolve our thinking in the area of architecture and continue to question how space can be physically defined. The project demonstrates perfectly the fusion of digital and technological design with the hands-on process of making, enabled by Aldworth James & Bond and their fantastic team,” says Giles Miller, Founder, Giles Miller Studio.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin
