The HYPER BOARD + BLOCK is an exhibition system specially designed for the 2021 751 International Design Festival Exhibition. As a sustainable alternative solution to the common problem of excessive material waste in ephemeral temporary exhibitions, the system, featured with its standard Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks and Oriented Strand Boards (OSB), is a modular, flexible and low-tech strategy that can easily adapt to various curatorial needs.
We designed a series of basic modules and variants for each of the three functional categories: display panels, display platforms and seating/table furniture. The modules are designed to eliminate any need for mortar, bounding or other surface treatments, greatly reducing the difficulty and timespan of on-site construction and adjustments, and guaranteeing that all the materials can be reused after the exhibition, so that it would not only bring down the cost, but also connect this exhibition to a broader social spectrum through the second life of the recycled materials, echoing the exhibition theme Hyper_Connection.
Relying on the system’s flexibility, the construction process finished within one week. The AAC Blocks, OSB, L-angles, green plants seamlessly blended into the original concrete and steel structures of the site, together with the vibrant changing light emitted from the LED screens and monitors, creating for the visitors an industrial landscape heterotopia intertwined with old and new.
After the exhibition, we were glad to learn that all the blocks and boards have been recycled for reuse. They will carry the genes and messages of this design festival, spread like dandelion seeds, to connect more people and spaces. Perhaps one day in the future, we will meet them again in front of an anonymous wall.
