Designing the exhibition Their First Buildings, I decided to have obfuscation: a unifying black from which flashes will emerge. The different model bases prepared by each participant and the relatively closed nature of the exhibition hall in Megaron, justify this solution.
So, there wasn’t any single platform or a table to accommodate the models- the light, or more correctly the darkness was the one that actually unifies them. The existing lighting of the hall remained unused – the lighting derived from a new series of lights which were adjusted regarding the height and the level of the beam, on each specific model.
The models were placed freely –as islands- within the exhibition hall, leaving a wider corridor around them for guests’ movement. This allowed not only the free tour of the visitor around each model but also maintained a "safe distance" among the different bases chosen by each participant. The visitors can find the description of each model in four spots in the exhibition hall, grouped per 10. In the end of the exhibition hall, there were 3 monitors were the visitor can browse through GREAT website and find more details for each project such as renders, floor plans, video etc. We realized that the level of light the exhibition hall is affected by the number of visitors: on the opening day, the darkness was more intense as the clothes were absorbing the light and the crowd was hiding the light sources which were hanging at low altitude.
