was contracted by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa to
design the Treaty 2U Touring Exhibition; a travelling exhibition
housed in a purpose built mobile exhibition truck travelling to
35 centres around New Zealand. interpreting the underlying themes
and messages we then had to squeeze the exhibition into a spatial
system that would fulfil the strict constraints of a folding exhibition
truck. traditional New Zealand craft methodologies were used to
generate a structural framework that stretched throughout the space
as both interactive and informational surfaces. This formal language
carried into the design of the pneumatic tent entrance and breakout
space for the exhibition. constructed from a translucent fabric
the tent allows light to penetrate into the space and removable
windows allow air to flow through the tent in hot weather. An internal
water filled cavity runs along the tent's base allowing the tent
to be erected by two people in around ten minutes.
