Teningurinn or The Cube is a new annual award handed out by the Association of Chartered Engineers in Iceland (VFÍ). The aim of the awards is to draw attention to well-developed and interesting projects in the field of engineering in Iceland.
Teningurinn was designed by Adrian Freyr Rodriguez, engineer and designer and Narfi Þorsteinsson, artist and graphic designer. In the design process, they looked at the period when the engineering discipline first came to Iceland around 1920 and wanted to reflect that in the art history with reference to constructivism. Icelandic artists such as Gerður Helgadóttir gave them great inspiration. According to the constructivists, art was meant to reflect modern industry and thus make use of the technology that was accessible at any given time. The design and production of Teningurinn utilized 3D drawing, 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining - (something that could not have been used easily ten years ago). The design is based on thirteen cubes that all support each other and revolve around the formula of Theodorus (Theodorus spiral), a 6th-century Greek mathematician. Their goal was to design an object that would be mathematically interesting as a formula would be used to create a shape or geometry..
