Kiosks representing the specialisations offered in college are redesigned every year. Usually, they display the work done by the students throughout the academic semester. In 2013, we decided to take a new approach to designing the space. Instead of displaying models and samples of work created by the students, we decided to communicate the essence of Exhibition Design as a specialisation.
Exhibition Design is the communication of stories or information through space as its medium of communication.
Instead of treating the kiosk as a display cabinet, we transformed it into a story telling stage, where we visually and spatially describing Exhibition Design.
For this, we used an icosahedron as a metaphor for the discipline. It stood to represent a volume consuming object, comprising of multiple faces. The scene presented on stage was of a moment in time when independent elements come together and one unit is about to be formed. The floating triangles are pulled by a force to create an icosahedron and hence become a part of a whole to form meaning.
