Confined to a 650 square foot gallery space in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the exhibition will feature designers and fabricators featured from the MMFX (Manufacturing Material Effects) International Symposium.
Lena, Joe, and I worked on the parameters for creating a programming process to place potential projects. Derived from Voronoi Cells and NURBs geometry, the formula imitates the biometrics of cellular formation to create space and corresponding voids in a larger space.
Positive space is created through exhibition display requirements that push and pull on the voids created through human constrains, circulation, and lighting parameters.
One issue we encounter were the constraints for constructing a hierarchical order of projects:
- Prestige
- First Come
- Cost and Installation Time
Our parameters for the gallery space are based on the principal of "packing"
"("packing " is a powerful organizational method in which an element's position in regard to its neighbors is determined by certain rules - not too close, no overlaping, etc... "packing" encourages a sense of democracy where one element's inclusion implies either an understanding of every other element or possibly a readjustment of the entire population. whether it is studied as self-organized structuring as cells or as a behavioral trope in crowds, "packing" can be observed as a collective and emergent sense of space - close, but not too close.)"
