Shingles facade intervention (open call)
Antonius Triestlaan 64, Gent BE
Verloren Bekisting put out an open call for WD40‘s facade cladded with shingles in Ghent. After measuring and drawing this shingle-cladded facade a template was made. This template, which became a kind of colouring page, offered the possibility to easily communicate which shingles to remove. We received many graphic interventions that all played with removing the shingles in a different way. The chosen submission by graphic designer Jacob Wise refers to the pedestrian crossing, often seen in the streets as construction signage. Jacob Wise directed us with his template drawing which shingles to remove on the day of execution. Through removing the shingles the graphic becomes visible. An action of adding through removal.
