CHRISTMASS SHED 2006, BOLDERBERG

Client: Scouting Bolderberg L1512G
Year: 2006
Project: Design and construction of a Christmas shed
For many years, the scouts group (L1512G) is responsible for the design and building of the Christmas-shed at the church in Bolderberg, their home-parish in Heusden-Zolder.
This Christmas-shed is also a name card for the creativity of this scouts group.
As an architect, it is a challenge to give a creative answer to something as conservative as a “Christmas-shed”, giving the constraints of material (wooden poles of length 2m, lm, 4m and lots of rope), limited manpower and time.
As a member of the scouting group, I have been providing the design for some years.
Each time, the Christmas-shed is designed as a dynamic play of poles, with a connotation to the formal “stereotypes” of Christmas.
A model is each time used as design- and execution process.
The designs are each a variation on this theme.
