mmx architects: no precedent installation

‘no precedent installation’ by mmx architectsmexico-based architecture studio mmx has developed ‘no precedent installation’, a specific project for the arnold and sheila arson galleries at parsons the new school for design in new york city. the exhibition engages with the gallery space allowing us to express our work much better than traditional models and boards. 

the intervention modifies the gallery context by interacting with it through an interface that creates an anonymous backdrop in relation to the rest of the exhibit. a room within a room, visitors can calmly sit and reflect upon the context, the new container and its contents are materialized. acknowledging the fact that the space will be filled with visual content from the various architectural firms, a small confined space was created to be perceived as neutral piece from the exterior, although it could still be walked through. once inside, the writings explaining the office`s philosophy of work can be found, becoming the installation. 

for material, paper is used because it can easily be compressed by folding simple geometrical patterns, and again gain volume when stretched.
