BLOX building was designed by OMA architects and financed by RealDania. It is home to the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) and is an acrobatic mix of uses (there is a museum, restaurant, apartments, etc.)
OMA's words about the building.
"BLOX connects inner Copenhagen with the waterfront and brings culture to the water's edge. The building absorbs the city's life and the routes through the building lead to unexpected and unpredictable interactions between building and city. The building's exterior is a stacking of the same geometric shapes in different arrangements. The building's colored textures reflect the shades of blue from the harbor."
Inspired by OMA's ideas, sketches and the final result of the building, Stories in Structures has worked with the history and structures of BLOX and transformed it into an artwork / sculpture and playful building system. The sculpture consists of 8 blocks. These are shaped by cutting through the building. When the bricks are stacked one way, they show the isometry of the building, when stacked another way, they show the facade of the building, and when stacked in thousands of other imaginative ways, they form different urban sculptures, so that new stories emerge in the structures.
When the blocks are collected in the corresponding wooden box, they can be hung on the wall as a small work of art, where the different shades of blue depict the reflection of the water.
The playful sculpture is therefore suitable both as a building set and toy for children as well as a small work of art that can be hung on the wall for adults.
