architectural particles

Exhibition "Architekturteilchen", MAKK, Cologne, Germany, May 2012 Responsive Design Studio developed and realized the exhibiton design for "Architecture Particles" in collaboration with Studyo Architects, Grossgestalten (graphics) and with kind support by Bayer Material Science and Ligaproduction. The exhibition design concept is based on a sphere packing method known from molecular structures of metalls, such as i.e. silver and gold. In the arrangement of non-overlapping spheres result octahedral and tetrahedral gaps. Based on these platonic solids combined with principles of generative design, a modular system was developed to present exhibited objects and projects on print media and integrated video screens. Our main objective was to develope a dynamic, recognizable design which refers to the exhibition theme and complys with the historic MAKK building by Rudolf Schwarz.
