EX-CHANGE is an annual exhibition and publication celebrating the work of Carnegie Mellon’s School of Architecture Students, first year through graduates. In response to the growing health crisis, EX-CHANGE 2020 evolved the standard experience to a virtual adventure-based exhibition.
Founded on the exchange of ideas and carefully curated through fundamental questions that embellish the thematic overlaps across projects, the EX-CHANGE is coordinated in such a way that works uncommonly juxtaposed are forced to crosspollinate.
Filled with easter-eggs and hidden references, the setting of this exhibit can be understood as memory. As a result, the experience is an interactive, structured abstraction of Carnegie Mellon’s campus where visitors are encouraged to virtually explore and delve into unknown yet familiar places.
Project completed in collaboration with Mohammed Rahman and Lydia Randall under the leadership of Talia Perry.
As guests explore this curated experience, they are directed to understand the work across various scales. To do this, the work is organized under recessive umbrellas, realized as critical questions.
In a similar light, the guests can then interact with the work at an increasingly intimate level, where they can understand it not only as a soliloquy but as a note in a larger melody.
