“How can we exhibit without repeating the wasteful energy model?” That’s what students and teachers from the Department of Architecture at the Autonomous University of Lisbon asked themselves as they sought to design a reconfigurable display system that could mount multiple projects over a period of three years rather than the disposable, custom exhibit structures used at the Modern Art Centre of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. With Re-Wall, the design team created a movable wall-and-panel kit that sits inside metal columns and beams made from repurposed construction materials and past exhibition remnants — all joined together via bolts to allow the structure to be further repurposed.
