Share: The most amazing/wierd/unique acoustic space you've worked in. Just a couple.

Mafoombey Acoustic Space – Martti Kalliala & Esa Ruskeepää « my design fix. December 14, 2009 at 11:12 pm | Posted in architecture | 3 Comments Tags: architecture, cardboard, cardboard architecture, mafoombey Mafoombey is the title of an award winning corrugated cardboard sound installation designed by Finnish architecture students Martti Kalliala and Esa Ruskeepää with the aid of architect, Martin Lukasczyk.
Designed for a competition organised by the Helsinki University of Art and Design in 2005, the competition brief called for a space for listening to and experiencing music within the set dimension of a 2.5m cube. Kalliala and Ruskeepää’s resulting design is a very sculptural form that plays on the contrast between the regular cubic volume, and the irregular free form interior, while also making use of the unique and underutilised material – corrugated cardboard.
The interior contours of the cube were designed mostly via 3D computer modelling. Another impressive detail is the fact that no adhesives were used in the project!
