Vestbeton
Continuing urbanization and centralization of social and political structures lead to the endless expansion of megacities, which is taking place with the involvement of migrant workers. A migrant worker's vest, mixing with concrete, creates a material that forms the basis looks of new quarters.
In the country of cold concrete, where solidification occurs below zero, the introduction of a new material into the landscape creates the appearance of warming, preserving the wrapped objects. The simplicity of forms and bright colors mask the brutality of the gray concrete foundation-the material of the last century, which now simultaneously acquires its own mood of forced variegation, forming the architectural layer of our time.
The new material reflects the modern typical buildings of the periphery: vests cover and paint concrete forms: they glow in the dark, they shine during the day, but remain invisible in their multitude, and it is not known whether the rigidity of the structure remains under them.
