Winner of national design competition for UIA 2011 Tokyo Romanian Pavilion.
We used only what had been available to us in order to achieve a minimalist and interactive space. The value of available resources had been transferred from that of a single use investment to that of intelligent components. The components are the very digital informative brochures, the digital photographic frames.
Resources are limited and every loss is quantified. The pavilion’s transient existence is being sketched-up in real time by the installation’s own disappearance as frame after frame is being removed by the visitor.
The installation is made of local materials. The digital photo frames are acquired from Japanese manufacturers in order to support the local industry and reduce transportation needs. The crescent-shaped digital wall suggests the image of interwoven bricks that transform into structural units, intelligent bricks, basic cells of the intelligent sustainable building that we try to imagine.
