Churches in the Modern World is a traveling exhibition that accompanies a major research project by Dr Robert Proctor (GSofA)
The brief demanded a freestanding system that could be easily transported and constructed in a number of un-curated venues across th
K. The client had a limited budget, yet also required a design with strong visual impact that responded to the themes of the project.
Collective Architecture developed a modular system using honeycomb cardboard; a recycled material that evokes the raw materiality of brutalist architecture. Interlocking panels form 3 modules, each representing a different research theme, inspired by principles of modernist design and religious iconography screens.
The form of the modules allows them to be positioned to suit a variety of spaces. The case studies are presented through photographs, drawings and archive material, in a graphic style influenced by architectural publications of the era.
