ISCTE-IUL Futurália Stand 2016

16/07/2016 by João Sousa in Architecture

The project for the ISCTE-IUL Futurália Stand of 2016 had two premises. It had to include an interactive installation called Morfogénese Musical, a project in partnership between the university through Vitruvius FabLab and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The installation is a robotic flower that interacts with the people to teach about the genetic code of a plant. It had also to have a big storage unit for the merchandising of the institution to be distributed to the visitors.

So, this stand was developed under the idea of a wave that emerged from the robotic flower and collided with the storage unit, creating the big volume and leaving the rest of the area almost empty, inviting the visitors inside the stand. This empty area had different types of information desks, some for the institutional info of the university, others to present some projects being developed at ISCTE-IUL.
