under the direction of leopold banchini and daniel zamarbide of bureau A with the assistance of giona bierens de haan, students of the geneva university of art
and design have completed a mobile exhibition set of modules - with a fully sized realization of the kitchen concept. the school was commissioned to
rethink the possibilities of creating an area in a modern landmark building in geneva - instead of compromising any space of the listed building
with another construction, the workshop concentrated on imagining mobile devices.
informed by the vernacular and intelligent portable architectures and spontaneous structures found in many countries in the world,
the students imagined a series of transportable units that could form a small family of objects that could accommodate different functions.
the 5 variations as shown in the models are to host a documentation stand (for brochures and books), an autonomous (photovoltaic) energy feature
providing the needed energy for the exhibition, a gathering module included a table and stools, a café and a media centre with the purpose of visioning film material.
a few of the other concepts will go under construction throughout the year.

why can’t you open the drawers
It looks sort of difficult to open the drawers…
I like this concept very much – just one question…how do you open the drawers and doors where the cart framework is in front of them?
they seem to have ignored weight in all proposals.
Nice! Looks like BARRANDOF (CZ) fairy-tales movies
The drawers are closed, access to furniture is from behind. Where it’s needed.
