SPUR Exhibit

The design objectives were to create a flexible exhibit system for SPUR’s inaugural Agents of Change exhibit while being easily converted into free-standing moveable panels for other future uses.  The exhibit required a sequence of six spaces for exhibit content associated with six ‘generations’ of urban planning in San Francisco.

The diamond-shaped panels are clad in reclaimed local hemlock wood and blackened steel.  The rim of the steel frame is punctuated by holes which support an array of thin steel cables.  The cables are pulled taught with the use of bicycle brake cable tension adjusters.  The cables allow exhibit content to float-off the wood surface creating depth of field and shadow lines.  

The panels are easily de-mountable from their speed rail superstructure.  Pre-made brackets with casters can be anchored to the panel bases for transport or re-use.
