Rio + 20

Today we present a collaboration with Orb studio (http://www.orb-site.com/) and Mona Kim (http://www.monakimprojects.com/) for the Fundação Getulio Vargas (http://portal.fgv.br/): 7 site-specific / interactive installations conceived to engage the city during the 3-day event in June 2012, Rio de Janeiro, all coming from the idea of the sphere, as a community and global icon.

Collaborating from New York, Paris and Barcelona, we went through several options to achieve the sharpest formalizations for each of the installations. We show 5 of them, including the main one in the Exhibition Center:

We started with the idea of a ball able to show information of the events on the outside and give a new world in the inside.

A wooden world to rest from the information overload and be able to focus in some content that would be given through tablets and Wi-Fi.

But this closed environment gave a wrong feeling of closed environment and we went over it by putting away the exterior cover and replacing it with LED screens.

Achieving a very interesting space.

The exhibition center ball.

Parts of it.

The plan.

The section.

After having developed this version, we twisted it completely to be a more site-specific installation: using the existing covered spaces we created a hanging roof with clothes.

One version like a courtain.

That would have hidden lights.

In a very simple way.

We were creating a very appealing space.

Section.

Or another version was using a typical cloth bracelet.

Hiding some lights behind.

In the shape of a vibrating ceiling.

Attached to the structure.

Parallel to this evolution we developed for Orb and Mona other installations:

Energy for all: 5 rows of bicycles will power a central sphere.

Parts of it.

Plan and section.

Detail plan.

Detail section showing the cloth distanced from the structure that holds the light.

Water for all: a path of water drums leads into a sphere done with recycled bottles.

The path.

The elements.

Plan showing the path.

Section showing the bottles with LED lights inside.

Better cities for all:

A sphere to get inside and surf through the most cutting-edge examples of cities.

The parts

A platform brings you to the inside and avoids the shadows of the people.

From the platform several tablets allow to surf through the information.

The globe had to be a floating sphere.

With information projected onto it.

A huge element able to communicate the event to the population.

National Energy Museum

In august 2010 we were invited by Feltrero to develop a competition for the permanent exhibition of National Energy Museum (MNE in Spanish). This weekend we got to know that we didn't win this phase. Taking advantage of it we publish it before the final result!
The competition was for 3 exhibitions of approx. 3.000 sqm each. Feltrero contacted with RdL arquitectos (http://www.rdlarquitectos.com/, we collaborated with them also in Dinopolis) to make 3 proposals with 3 teams, being RdR responsible of the exhibition explaining the consequences of the energy use. All museology was from Andres Clerici (http://www.this-is-public.com/about.html)
Here follows the information of our proposal before knowing who the winners are.

The first thing we did was looking at the building: it's an abandoned centre of energy supply and our exhibition was in the building hosting the coal storage, in the upper floors. Watching images like this we immediately fell in love with the building and tried to make the exhibition according to it and always on it, never adding elements or hiding the building. And of course the "tolva" will be our leitmotiv.

Regarding the kind of exhibition we wanted to do, it was an exhibition that could benefit from the values of a science centre (activity, scientific rigour, several topics) and the values of a temporary exhibition (clarity of message, quietness in museographical resources, hierarchy of topics...)

We wanted to make the tolva the personal character and so each of the floors created a different relation to the tolva: through it, as opposition to it and on it. This clear idea will guide the entire exhibition (giving importance to the building, different scenarios and clarity, as the purpose was).

The next decision was to start from up to down: bringing people to the top and making them go down by gravity gave us a much more "natural" way of walking through the exhibition: first we would go through an immersion tunnel, then we would walk giving the back to it and concentrating in two new information walls and finally we would take advantage of the big space and lay in two stepped walls.

Looking at the sections we spotted different spaces and gave them importance with our structures: straight lines will show different highs in a very expressive way. Reading the content we spot 3 different topics: energy is more (from more advantage to more disadvantages), solutions to the problems (also in 3 subchapters) and the future solutions (a gallery of the future). So we put each of the topics with the relations and we got a very immersive entrance from more advantage to more disadvantages, then a two information bands for solutions and a chill-out agora for the discussion.

The upper floor, through the tolva: entrance at the lower right side with some totems where you can find your ecological footprint. At your left you would see the problems (climatic change and CO2 problems) and in the middle the immersion tunnel with the different topics, with individual projections in the left part (down in this plan) and group projections in the right part (up in this plan)

The middle floor, against the tolva: two walls relate to the tolva (old-new; no information - with information; straight - kinked) and hierarchies the information. This walls have interior spaces where needed to give deeper information and create different experiences without competition with the others. The floor touches two times to the tolva, moment where an inside view is created and in this balcony we put a metaphorical installation to show the carbon.

The down floor, on the tolva: to explain the future we imagined two linear walls, with kinks but this time instead of being vertical they are stepped because the visitor will not read the information but create it. These spaces make small agoras for discussions with on the latest topics of energy and have built-in screens to self-navigate on several topics or watch them projected on the tolva. A bigger plaza is created to make the gallery of the future, with the last research on energy use.

Diagrams:
-From more advantages to more disadvantages.
-Several topics in a kinked line, with deeper information.
-Several agoras and a superior meseta for the active discussion.
