Materials and Applications


Bitter Mellon Trellis
Promiscuous Production: Breeding is Bittersweet
June 27, 2010 - October 7, 2010
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Miracle Mile, Los Angeles

With the idea of cross-pollinating bitter and sweet melons, the Bitter Melon Trellis was constructed for the National Bitter Melon Council with Fallen Fruit at LACMA. Participants harvested, trimmed, bent, and lashed bamboo poles into a tunneling trellis. The project is part of EATLACMA, a year-long program at the museum designed to explore food as a curatorial theme. Materials: bamboo, twine, rebar, landscape fabric

Fat Fringe with LAYER
March 12, 2010 - April 8, 2010
The FIX Gallery, Pico-Union, Los Angeles

Fat Fringe was a collaborative project between M&A and design office LAYER. The aim of the project was to explore techniques for large scale, high volume paper cutting. A die-cut paper canopy containing 500 units was developed by participants in a series of weekend workshops led by designers Lisa Little and Emily White of LAYER. Materials: paper, twine, staples

M&A is a research center dedicated to pushing new and underused ideas for landscape and architecture into view.

Funding in support of “MatterApp,” a series of five off-campus design/build public workshops that culminate in architecturally dynamic installations. Scheduled for March 2011 - March 2012.
