Dot by Dot: Facades in Color
Get creative with volumetric pieces
Marlene Couceiro Design
Join Marlene Couceiro, a graphic designer and pixel addicted, in a workshop that explores the repetition of elements, a concept common to various creative fields. In architecture, it manifests itself in facades, flooring, and coverings, many of which are made of tiles; in textiles and clothing, particularly through patterns and embroidery, such as cross-stitching; and in the digital area, through bitmap graphics and pixel art.
Participants will work with volumetric pieces of different dimensions to create a mural installation or a personal accessory. The transition from a wall, similar to an architectural facade, to an individual scale establishes a connection between architecture and the user.
The workshop offers two possibilities: a hands-on interaction with a large wall made of 5 cm diameter spheres or the creation of individual pieces using spherical components with a diameter of 0.5 cm, exploring patterns in a more personal way.
Participants will experience how color and texture transform visual and sensory perception. Both the mural and the accessories serve as layers that express identity and style, creating connections between the architectural space and personal appearance.
