The Design

About Poro City Disenyo ng Eksibisyon

Ang Poro City ay isang disenyo ng eksibisyon na ginawa mula sa mga kahon ng gatas. Ang mga kahon ay bumubuo ng isang sistemang parang tisa na hindi ganap na transparent o solido, na humahawak sa eksibisyon nang walang matigas na hangganan. Ang mga alun-along at butas-butas na dingding ay bumibigkis sa mga tanawin at nagpapaalala sa mga breeze block na makikita sa Los Angeles. Ang modular na kit ng mga bahagi ay mabilis na ma-assemble at maaaring umangkop sa iba't ibang lugar, sa loob man o labas ng gusali. Gumamit ang instalasyon ng 1100 kahon na may sukat na 33 cm by 33 cm by 28 cm sa loob ng 200 metro kwadrado na gallery. Binabago ng maliliwanag na kulay ang isang pamilyar at praktikal na bagay tungo sa isang mainit at kaakit-akit na espasyo.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Poro City proposes a dialogue with the many communities of Los Angeles. Milk crates function as a brick system that is neither transparent nor solid, housing the exhibition without imposing a rigid boundary. The milk crate's flexibility allows for various design options that can adapt to different spaces. Moreover, its immediately familiar iconography makes it approachable to a wide range of audiences.
Dimensions & Packaging: It is constructed with 1100 counts of 33 cm x 33 cm x 28 cm milk crates and distributed in a 200 square meters gallery.
Tags: exhibition design, reuse, second life,
Production Technology: Our modular crate system was designed to be easy and fast to assemble. With the help of volunteers, we were able to construct all of the walls in less than a day. COVID has kept many of us indoors, so it was great to get together at Helms Bakery for the exhibition.
Design Challenge: Due to the viral milk-crate challenge from Tik Tok, and to discourage climbing on the walls, we also made the decision to treat seating as a separate element rather than integrating it with the exhibition walls.
Research: We were inspired by the project brief, which called for a design that could be distributed at indoor and outdoor sites throughout Los Angeles. We wanted our design to be recognizable regardless of its location, and to create a space while connecting to each unique neighborhood. We settled on a kit-of-parts construction using milk crates as our primary building material due to their adaptability and recognizability. Assembled as undulating porous walls, crates frame views and emphasize the experiential relationship between exhibition and site. The stacked brick pattern recalls the textures of breeze block walls, iconic surfaces of the LA landscape. The final result is a welcoming and vibrant exhibition in an array of vivid colors.
Inspiration: Packaging is often a means to an end. We receive a good, unwrap it, and discard the container. However, some forms of packaging, like shipping crates and pallets, are designed for durability and reuse. These sturdy qualities often inspire more robust modes of use than initially intended. The same is true for the milk crate.
Project Duration: It is located at Culver City, California. It starts construction on October and stand in the gallery from November to December.
Operation Flow: Our vision for this exhibition was to exemplify the ability of people to create the extraordinary from the mundane. Showcasing milk crates, which by their nature are utilitarian objects, celebrates this resourcefulness. The bright and unexpected colors further elevate and transform the material and show it in a new way.
