The project
For STONEMOLD, we made a negative mould for cement. Archicercle’s contribution covered cutting the MDF base, engraving the mirrored lettering and bonding pieces around the edges to build up the mould’s depth.
Preparing the base involved cutting and engraving. The lettering was laser-engraved in mirror image onto the MDF, orientated for transfer to cement. The documented work covers the manufacture of the negative mould, rather than the production of the finished cement piece.
Depth was built up by adding thinner pieces around the perimeter. These were bonded one on top of another until the required depth was reached. The mould was divided into two parts, an arrangement intended to make demoulding easier.
The mould has an approximately rectangular outline with a curved top. Its inner composition combines mirrored lettering, a small cross and a plant motif along one side. The documented outcome is the mould, ready for use with cement.
