5CUBE is a semi-permanent pavilion in Hanover Quay, Dublin Docklands, physically representing the volume of oil consumed every five minutes in Ireland. It is the result of the Imagine Energy design competition run by the EU funded ACE For Energy project which seeks to promote the uptake of renewable energy through various initiatives throughout Europe. The concept behind the pavilion was to develop an easily replicable symbol of oil consumption, which could be scaled up or down, and would confront the public with current rate of fossil fuel depletion. As well as visualizing the volume of oil being consumed, there are also two mirrored bands on opposite sides of the box. On the east side, where the sun rises, a strip 50cm high represents (in BOE, Barrels of Oil Equivalent) how much energy came from renewable energy sources in that same five minutes. Opposite on the west, another larger mirrored strip represents Ireland\u2019s targeted volume of energy from renewable energy sources for 2020. The 5CUBE has been designed so that it can be easily dismantled and relocated in any location; no foundations are needed due to internal ballasting solution using sand-filled boxes.<\/p>\n
