U-Build wants to inspire the next generation of builders, doers and makers. We teamed up with the Young V&A to bring awareness to the craft, as part of London Design Week.

We supplied our stage boxes as part of our box library, circular economy approach to design and construction.

 

The Box Library 

 

The box library has been launched with a network of users. From a DJ stage, to seating areas, from an exhibition wall, to a pop up street skate park. The boxes can be used for educational purposes, to promote construction practice as a viable interest to anyone, through to engaging with activism and the celebrating power of community. They can turn up completely flat packed, then using simple off the shelf screws and a driver, put together in minutes. They can then be bolted together to create various structures and shapes. Once the parts are dismantled, they are able to be taken to other locations for further use, or put into a storage container (made of more boxes), until required again. This is part of the usual effort to promote a circular economy. If these units are no longer required at a certain location, hopefully they can be offered to another project, as part of our circular principles.
