­The SPAN designed exhibition “Housing in Vienna” opens at the Palazzo Ca’Tron, IUAV, Venice, Italy.

Manifold Tessellations
“The Tessellation gave us the chance to aggregate the repetitive component in multiplicious ways, to adapt to different exhibition environments without compromising the allover appearance of the design. The Cairo Tessellation, known in mathematics also as example of equilateral Pentagons that tile the plane, allow for a high variety of the topology of the plane. The Cairo pods yielded opportunities within the aggregation of repetitive objects that imply the creation of heterogeneous figurations. The pods purpose is to serve as exhibition vitrine in varying spaces.” (SPAN)

Exhibition design commissioned by the Az W (Architecture Center Vienna) for the exhibition Housing in Vienna, traveling exhibition.
