PADERBORN, GERMANY
- I've read that during this time in Paderborn, women were greatly involved in important political decisions made by their husbands, and even in the decision to have these memorial sculptures made of the Washer Women doing laundry in the famous Pader River in their city. They are beautiful and amazing sculptures.

LA studio Brooks + Scarpa has released designs for a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust to be constructed outside of the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee.
The firm designed the project to address different aspects of the tragedy in the context of Florida. The state has the highest number of living Holocaust survivors in the US, and five museums and memorials dedicated to the victims.
Brooks + Scarpa's sculpture was recently chosen to be built by the Holocaust Memorial Review Committee, formed by the state government in 2015.
Brooks + Scarpa won a competition to design a Holocaust memorial for the Florida State Capitol
Lawrence Scarpa, who grew up in Florida, says that the design was personal. "Half of my cousins were Bar/Bat mitzvah’d and Jewish culture was always part of my life" he said. "Additionally, many of my direct relatives were killed in the holocaust."
"I feel like by winning the competition and being the designer of a memorial with such a historical significance, that in some way, by being able to design the memorial it also memorializes my own family’s grief, suffering, survival, hope and success," added Scarpa.
Called Passage of the Heart, the memorial will be placed in the Florida State Capitol complex, designed by Edward Durell Stone. The sculpture, composed of triangular stone forms, was designed so that visitors could walk through it.
The sculpture will have a limestone exterior and a bronze interior
The objective of the design is "to become a symbol of the celebration of life, but also a journey of transition and hope, where the visitor travels thru the memorial, back in time while contemplating the future," said Brooks + Scarpa in the description for its submission.
The Florida limestone exterior is meant to symbolise stones placed at the graves of the dead, with the Hebrew word for "stone" carved in the face of the material. At the base will be etchings of the names of all the largest concentration camps.
Randomised numbers cut into the bronze will symbolise the tattoos forced on victims
Inside, a bronze-clad interior will be divided into 22 panels, symbolising the number of countries directly affected by the Holocaust.
On these panels, random numbers akin to those assigned to prisoners at the camps will be cut into the metal surface. The numbers will cover the entirety of the bronze panels to show "the magnitude of the loss of life".
The panels will be backlit at night so that the numbers shine through even in the dark, as a symbol of "enduring life thru tragedy".

"We want to prompt visitors to think about their moral and ethical responsibilities when they see injustice," said Brooks + Scarpa.
Interactive aspects are also incorporated into the design. Digital projections will be projected on the stone face for educational purposes and small gaps will be left between the walls of the memorial where visitors can leave mementos.
Visitors will be able to walk through the sculpture
In 2018 an additional memorial recognising the victims of American slavery was also approved for the Florida State Capitol Complex, although the current status is "unclear" according to a release on the project.
Memorials for the victims of the Holocaust remain extremely relevant. Last year, Daniel Libeskind, the designer of the Jewish Museum of Berlin as well as the planner of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex, completed a memorial to the Dutch victims of the Holocaust in Amsterdam.

Design collective The Decorators has created three pieces of inflatable furniture that encourage humans and bacteria to intermingle through the process of food fermentation.
The three design sculptures include a 12-person table for making kimchi, a small table for producing labneh cheese and a sofa that can be used for proving the dough for bread.
The objects encourage humans and bacteria to mix
Designers Xavier Llarch Font and Mariana Pestana of The Decorators wanted to highlight the positive role that bacterial microbes can play in human life.
The project builds on the understanding that microbes, such as those cultivated in food fermentation, can improve human digestion. They are also believed to produce feelings of joy through the release of hormones like dopamine and serotonin.
Cheese-Board is used for making and drying labneh
At a time when Covid-19 has increased public fear of both bacteria and human interaction, Llarch Font and Pestana hoped to use bacteria as a way of forging rather than alienating communities.
"We've been made more aware of how non-human agents such as virus bacteria and microbes impact our lives," said Llarch Font.
"This has dramatically changed the way we interact with each other and our very notion of community."
Kimchi-Pool allows up to 12 people to communally make kimchee
The first piece of inflatable furniture is Kimchi-Pool, a large basin-style table with irregularly-shaped seats around the outside.
A group of up to 12 people can sit or kneel at the table to collectively make kimchee, a Korean food created from seasoned and fermented cabbage and radish napa.
Sofa-Bread provides space for bread makers to lounge while dough is proving
Cheese-Board provides a surface and drying rack for making labneh, a soft cheese that is traditionally made in Lebanon.
Sofa-Bread is a tiered seat that invites bread makers to lounge while they wait for their bread dough to prove – the process where yeast ferments the dough – before baking.
"We were interested in this idea of domesticity, how these objects become like kitchen utensils," said Llarch Font.
A performance by artist Laura Wilson was staged on Sofa-Bread
The Decorators produced the designs through a fellowship with the Stanley Picker Gallery at Kingston University in southwest London.
The project began in 2018 but naturally took on a new dimension in light of the pandemic – a time when antibacterial hand washes became part of everyday culture, but people also starting experimenting with recipes for making fermented foods at home.

The designers hoped to create a reminder that these foods were not always just hobbies to share on social media, but staple foods created through common domestic rituals.
Llarch Font points to the communal kimchee-making that still takes place today, while Pestana recalls how her grandmother would put bread dough above the fireplace.
"It was something that you lived with," she said.

All three inflatables have been brought to life through performances.
The kimchee table was used by the Kimjang Project, a spinoff of the Kingston Korea Festival, while the bread sofa was brought to life in a performance by artist Laura Wilson.
The Decorators produced a film to accompany the designs
The Decorators have also produced a film that explains the background behind the project, which was exhibited alongside the designs in an exhibition at Stanley Picker Gallery.
Portal Tables was on show at the Stanley Picker Gallery from 18 November 2021 to 5 February 2022. SeeDezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.

The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation has denied reports that the duo's Mastaba project is set to be realised in the UAE as it still doesn't have government authorisation.
Despite reports in several design publications that Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 150-metre-high prismatic sculpture was set to finally be built, the organisation that manages the artists' estate confirmed to Dezeen that it remains a proposal.
"Over the last weeks, some publications may have had misleading headlines letting some understand that The Mastaba, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's final project, was being built in the Liwa Desert (UAE), which is not the reality," the foundation said.

"We are still in the planning phase of this project, which would be Christo and Jeanne-Claude's final and permanent work of art to be realised," said a representative for the foundation.
"Like the artists' past projects, The Mastaba will move forward when and if government approval is received. But we are grateful for public enthusiasm for this project and look forward to the possibility of bringing it to life."

The artists conceived of The Mastaba for the United Arab Emirates in 1977, more than 40 years ago. After Jeanne-Claude passed away in 2009 and Christo in 2020 the work to realise their vision has continued, as per their wishes.
If built, The Mastaba will become the largest contemporary sculpture in the world, topping the Great Pyramid of Giza in height while being significantly wider.

With a name and shape derived from a type of flat-roofed ancient Egyptian tomb, The Mastaba would be made from 410,000 55-gallon steel barrels that form a multicoloured pattern, echoing the mosaics of Islamic architecture.
The proposed location is the Liwa desert, approximately 160 kilometres south of Abu Dhabi, and the project would become the only permanent large-scale public sculpture by the artists, who are best known for temporary installations involving fabric and wrapping.

The project would be entirely self-funded by the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, but it needs government approval before it can go ahead.
The build would be carried out by Christo's nephew Vladimir Yavachev, who worked with the artists for 30 years and brought to life their L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped in 2021.
The Mastaba would be taller and wider than the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Mastaba would be the artists' final artwork, as Christo authorised no further projects beyond these two before his death.
While a recent tweet from the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation hinted at upcoming updates about The Mastaba, the organisation clarified to Dezeen that this referred to exhibitions and other showcase opportunities.
The Colnaghi Gallery presented some of Christo's sketches for The Mastaba during the Abu Dhabi Art fair at the end of 2021, hoping to cultivate interest in the project's realisation.

The Mastaba was previously brought to life in a mini, floating version in London in 2018. It was the last project Christo completed before his death in 2020, at the age of 84.
He met his wife and creative partner Jeanne-Claude in 1958, and the two went on to produce works such as Wall of Oil Barrels, Wrapped Coast, Valley Curtain and Surrounded Islands. Christo continued to make work under both their names after Jeanne-Claude's death in 2009.

French artist Mathieu Lehanneur has used population data from 140 countries to create a collection of 3D-printed aluminium sculptures.
Called State of the World, the sculptures were presented at an exhibition at Design Miami/Basel.
Top: State of the World was exhibited at Design Miami/Basel. Above: the sculptures are based on population data
Each solid sculpture represents one individual country. The country's birthrate, life expectancy and history are reflected in the shape of the sculpture, with each individual groove representing an age from 1-100.
At the base is newborn children, while the peak represents the elderly. Most of the sculptures are bottom-heavy, demonstrating how few people in society live to be 100 years old.
Lehanneur sourced the data from a UN database
"The idea was to make visible and to also understand all the people who are living right now on the same planet," Lehanneur told Dezeen.
"I wanted to change the two-dimensional statistics into a three-dimensional object – like a spinning object," he said. "You can see that every single silhouette is different from one another."
Each groove represents an age from 1-100
Lehanneur retrieved the population data from a United Nations (UN) database, where it was originally depicted in mathematical graphs.
In order to accurately represent each age demographic to the half millimetre, he 3D-printed the sculptures from aluminium.
"I decided to use the aluminium because when you mash it in carefully, you can absolutely respect every single dimension," he said.
"For me, it makes sense to be extremely precise because every single millimetre means thousands of years."
Lehanneur also created a silver sculpture that represents the population data for all of Earth, which is much wider at its base than its top, showing how young the majority of the planet's population is.
A single silver sculpture represents data from the entire planet
State of the World is the continuation of an earlier series of sculptures by the designer, called The Age of the World, created in 2009.
That project, a collection of ceramic urns, represented the ages of the population in France, the USA, Japan, Egypt and Russia.
Although he started the project a decade ago, Lehanneur believes that 2021 was the right year to finalise and exhibit State of the World because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is a turning point in the history of humanity," he reflected. "It's super rare that the entire world basically lived the same catastrophe."
"This moment of the reopening of the world was the right moment," he added.
Lehanneur is known for artwork that explores the relationship between the living world and objects, such as a black marble table that looks like the sea.
The artist also created a range of black marble furniture sculptures that mimic waves in the ocean.
