H Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of installation based works by INDA, International Program in Design and Architecture of the Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Entitled, “Designing Informality,” the exhibition will take place between the 4th and the 27th June 2018 Through pictures, drawings and physical models, the exhibition aims to identify the appropriate design categories to grasp informality into an architectural device. An inhabitable chariot, treated as typological device – an hybrid synthesis between a market stall and a religious baldaquin, will be constructed and displayed within the spaces of the H Gallery.
Researching what the markets already offer, sell and display - a precise logic to curate a variable organization of goods, without misrepresenting the informality and spontaneity of the outcome. The chariot’s architectural conditions will produce a spatial scaffolding to challenge the relationship between the different actors that will inhabit it: sellers, monks, musicians, guests and pedestrians. The effects of the chariot in different situations and architectural configurations will be tested and recorded, through a series of designed rituals and informal gatherings - highlighting the mutual influence between people's behaviors and designed elements. During the entire period of exhibition, particular attention will be dedicated to the artisanal crafting of specific ornamental and functional components, to understand the deep connection among aesthetics, mechanisms and spontaneous reactions. |
