The Red cube is our proposal for an 8’ cube for the city of Panjim. The idea can be injected into a multitude of sites and exalts the experience of inhabiting a public space. The project draws inspiration from the Gutai Manifesto and works from the framework that 'meanings are not contained in the object itself but is the process that the observer is a participant in.'
Constructed using mass-produced materials—bubble wrap and galvanized iron pipes— with the local construction material of Goa- laterite stone, the proposal merges with the everyday, making it both familiar and provoking.
The process involved developing a manifesto, of what each of us thought an object in a public space could evoke and how we desire it to perform. Once a collective vision was established, we arrived at the proposed design through collective and individual iterations.
