PAPER HOUSE

The Paper House has been earmarked for ISIS Warwick Bar Eastside Development

Venue: FXB Site

Arrival: Monday 13th August

Artist: Peter Hadfield

Peter Hadfield is a local Birmingham based artist who considers himself an outsider with regards to contemporary consumer society.

Concept: The Paper House structure was originally made for one of Sozos’ previous projects (The X Ray factory, Live Work) from recycled junk mail that had been posted through Peters’ Letterbox

The Festival of Extreme Building has recreated the beautiful aesthetic of the Paper House but adapting it to with stand the rigours of outdoor exposure.

Although no longer adhering to the original ethos of sustainable recycling it stands up for the idea and we hope it will become a debating point around the issue of green technologies.

The Church like structure is fabricated from wire mesh filled with high quality polystyrene foam balls.
