Central Saint Martins and Crumbles Youth controllable LED workshop
LED light installation for the Crumbles Castle Adventure Playground – an architectural intervention on the roof of their new building, visible from all approaches in the adjoining park. It mirrors the existing turret and railings of the Crumbles Castle, built from the bricks and cobbles of the derelict tenements in the 1970s.
The project has been realised in collaboration with students from Central St. Martins (CSM) and the Crumbles Youth.
4800 addressable LEDs have been set in 64 vertical columns to form a cylinder, 2 meters in diameter and 2.4 meters tall. Technicians from CSM used their CNC cutter to create a precision made structure that was lightweight and quick to assemble on-site.
Students from CSM worked with the Crumbles youth to create drawings and videos for the display with other content inspired by, and reflecting, the activities at Crumbles i.e. ping-pong, football, dancing, painting…
