The Building

The E-exhibition was a part of the Architectural section of Mixedmedia -- an international festival of electronic culture held In Milan, Hangar Bicocca from the 25th to the 28th of May 2006.

The work of many prominent architects all over the world has been exhibited through digital and electronic mediums with the support of 20 laptops.

The installation was designed to efficiently communicate information while creating a friendly environment for the visitors.

It was based on a conceptually and practically deformed surface divided into 50 modules to host the computers and the screens on them.

Four 5 x 4 meters screens, located on the sides of the installation, were used to projects videos.

Largely inexpensive materials, such as recycled wood panels, were used to build the modules in order to contain the budget.
