The project
BIRCHPLAQUE brings together birch plaques with different graphic compositions engraved into the wood. Archicercle manufactured the pieces, from cutting and perforating through to sanding and final engraving with a galvanometer laser.
Manufacture began with laser cutting and perforating each plaque. The pieces share a rectangular format with rounded corners and holes along the sides, while the engraved content varies between compositions.
After cutting, the plaques were sanded to soften the surface texture and tones. This stage preceded engraving: the workflow combined preparation of the wooden pieces with the subsequent addition of the graphic motifs.
A galvanometer laser was used to engrave lines of different widths. The compositions include maps and text, with references to Valencia and a world map. Against the pale birch surface, the lines and lettering define each variation within the series.
