“Breakwater,” Jamestown, NY, United States,
A dolos (plural: dolosse) is a large prefabricated pre-cast concrete element. In extensive coastal engineering projects large numbers of them are typically interlocked to form breakwaters – barriers that protect shorelines from the impact of waves.
“Breakwater” brings together these infrastructural elements and gives them a colorful coating and a soft rubber base to make a playable ‘social infrastructure.
