The project of ISCTE-IUL stand for Futurália 2015 fair in Lisbon proposed to be established as a multifunctional element and totally re-adaptable to different types of situation. The structural base element is a greek cross, seeking to communicate the transparency, versatility and contemporaneity. The contrasting element is the cube that will perform as storage, balcony, information spots or stools. This system allowed the creation of different areas: a large reception desk, a storage unit with two screens, a smaller information desk and the space inside that worked as a gathering and lounge area for the visitors.
With the resource of digital design and manufacturing techniques, this stand pretended to be re-used for other activities and events. Its modular feature allows for the conception of endless formal arrangements, permitting its incorporation in other places. After the main arrangement at Futurália 2015, the same structure was reassembled to meet other requirements, resulting in different layouts.
