Exhibition Hanging System Design ◦ System Installation Plan

For our 2nd & 3rd iterations of this exhibition, we looked to improve on an already efficient and adaptable solution. We focused on trying to eliminate material waste and even minimize any excess elements—developing a hanging system made almost entirely from full sheets of plywood.

These standard, unmodified, sheets of plywood were completely re-purposed by the client for their following exhibition.

A summary of the design considerations:

• Simplification of the install process by proposing a basic, multi-panel triangular unit, that could be easily assembled & flexibly arranged, allowing different lengths of wall and complex spatial variety

• Utilizing the natural stability of the triangles to be both wall and structure, with no wasted panels and no additional structural frame

• An additional cost reduction from the previous version—aside from the (reusable) plywood, only standard metal hardware such as hinges, straps and adjustable feet were required

• Material & formal adaptability—triangles are not the only geometries possible (though perhaps the simplest); likewise many other types of sheet goods could be used
