Ice Cream Architecture

I do like to remember that time over the school holidays when I collected numerous comic books from cousins, egg boxes for some reason fascinated me and elastic bands could change an empty washing up bottle into an aeroplane or submarine in an instant. You would be wrong to think that although our time is filled with a plethora of devices that distract, the attention can be waned over to the simplest of objects that catch the all important imagination in our minds, something still cooking in particularly children’s minds but still important in anyone’s mind is that they continue to stay young, continue to learn.

Ice Cream Architecture are from Scotland and on a tour of Ireland stopped by with their magic plastic to engage with one and all, set up originally by Desmond Bernie and Sarah Frood it’s obvious that they have imagination at the heart of their interactive outlook, their moving bus pop-up that introduces the magic of a recently discovered plastic that can melt at sixty degrees binds anything any object you can muster to another, I did spend some time with Cian who professed the excellence of his makeshift noisemaker cobbled together from old waving piping a stick [you should always possess a stick] and a traffic cone he borrowed from the car park whilst the attendants weren’t watching. Kids love this play and make set-up and respect to the Ice Cream Architecture for getting stuck in and bringing something different to the Earlsfort terrace car park, watch out for them at a town near you.
