Pile 'em high / Stacked

The design was conceived  for the exhibition “Building Culture-think your city different” in the planning workshop in Vienna. By means of simply piled up square timbers, a kind of “shelf-system” was created. On the one hand it functions as storage area, on the other hand it can be used as interactive space.

Time and again, the piles change their directions so as to guarantee stability. The objective was a detachment from the existing exhibition space and the unification of the exhibition design and the information in one “carrier”. 

At the same time, the added value of experienced space is suggested. Graphic contents and pictures merge with the wooden structure; integrated O-sounds and possible interventions of the visitors in the exhibition confirm the process-oriented character of the exhibition.

In the end, building culture is a materially visible result as well as an immaterial experienced added value of actors in the urban context. It can be presumed that the use of the term “culture” requires a high level of quality and by no means mediocrity.
