Terrazzo Times, an ongoing project from Paz Huang since 2014, which aims to arouse consciousness of consumption in the realm of "Up cycling" by using a collection of old bricks and tiles.
The inspiration of “Terrazzo Times” comes from the observation of old house renovations, which architects retain the original structure as the new interior’s materials or support, different from the general modular ways. To present the characteristic of terrazzo floor, which contains both rough and gentle cement and inlaid copper strips like the texture of gorgeous velvet, it depends superior on hand-polishing.
To reinforce this image, I re-created the building materials into new materials to seal the past time. I chose the techniques of terrazzo to complete as the furniture surface, and the traditional copper strip inlaid on the floor as the support structure. I collected the materials from old houses, and used the techniques of poured terrazzo to form a new matrix except a sharp objects.
