This low-cost, innovative exhibition display structure was made up of 80 identical plywood octagons components that combine to make a large, irregular and expansive whole. The structure is visually arresting, but also provides ample space for the exhibition content.
Our design meant that the arrangement was flexible, could be rapidly assembled, and could achieve significant height in the space. The shape of the components also means that it can be stored flat on pallets for future re-use.
The initial exhibition displayed the work of the 12 finalists of the 2016 International Student Awards. Exhibits included innovative medical devices, a robot, and a new spider silk-based polymer.
The structure was subsequently reused for an exhibition held at The UK Embassy in Berlin, showcasing collaborations between UK and German higher education institutions.
