For The Modernist’s latest exhibition, the team welcome Plyconic, an East London design studio with a fascination in post-war architecture.
The studio use plywood to create 3D reliefs (PlyForms) of famous buildings, stripping the structures back completely to focus solely on the form.
Each piece of 3D work changes throughout the day, as shifting shadows constantly alter the aesthetics.
The folks at Plyconic have created 12 new pieces specially for the exhibition, based on Manchester’s modernist architecture.
Plyconic first started producing PlyForms in 2021. They have created several architectural series focusing on the Barbican, Southbank and Spanish artist Xavier Corbero’s home in Barcelona.
The exhibition runs from now until Sat 4 Mar, and is open from Tue-Sat, between 11am-5pm.
