a different use of the forms designed to create a stand
modular and open-source exhibit design
ADA-MO_2015
My final Bachelor project’s starting point was focused on the role of the designer in the exhibit design. The result of the teamwork was the design of spaces and furniture made of adaptable models assembled with each other. This design process was inspired and made possible by the collaboration with Disney Digital Italia. We designed following the Open Source Philosophy: once the project is published on-line, anyone can download and customize the technical drawings and then produce on site the project with digital fabrication technologies. This is how the role of the designer during the exhibition stand’s design changes: indeed it is more than a punctual intervention, extending itself in all the design’s phases with the same importance. We decided to look at the design process as an assembly line, in which our role is being the AdaMo designer, who designs forms, gives them possibilities of use and shares them on-line, initiating the real evolution of his project. No form of the modules will have to be mailed, for example from a European trade fair to an American one, but you’ll be able to send the file directly and replicate the single components through CNC and laser technologies. The inspirational motivation is the will to give more flexibility to the design. We see the real evolution of our project in the sharing and in the possibilities of transformation.
