the morning started quiet and rainy and after the students finished their lectures, the sun appeared and the whole group rushed towards the end of the building weeks.
While our Dr. Bucky Lab prepped the bbq the last bits and pieces came together from the projects.
At 16.00 we stopped working and started our bbq with an ice cold beer and a german Bratwurst, yes german. Thanks to our special delivery service from Dennis de Witte and Prof. Ulrich Knaack, we got
a fresh delivery of original Grillbratwuerstchen Thueringer Art …the best money can by….
With a charcoal fire burring like hell the sausages got a healthy colour in minutes and the crowd was enjoying the lovely snack.
Our BBQ is also the time to meet our sponsors and partners of the bucky lab, its our way of getting together, talking tools and have a chat about this and that. So next to Frans from Festool, Jaap from woodworking.nl who already joined the introduction day also Bart de Groot the inventor of our lovely Walko workbenches, Mark Bomer from Hettich who once build the toolboxes with us and equipped the whole set with the worlds best set of drawers joined the sunny event and had a chat with Frank from breur our hardware store.
At the end also a few colleagues joined including Uli Knaack and Stefan Behnisch who is guest professor for this semester in our house. what an event.
We would like to thank our partners and sponsors for their contribution, without them this building weeks would have been impossible ! We carry their names on our boxes with pride !
this blog is dedicated to the Bucky Lab from the TU Delft faculty of Architecture. Within the mastercourse we design, develop and at the end build architecture and building construction related prototypes. Its a "get your hands dirty" approach in which the students learn how to translate concepts from sketch into working prototypes. We try to live the spirit of buckminster fuller: what ever you can imagine, you can also build!
