The Grid

Normal Architecture together with Studio Karya realised an installation in Kuala Lumpur, which responds to the gridded layout of the exhibition venue.

The initiative was to organise a design showcase in support of the ever-developing local design industry, seeking to explore improved new techniques, experiments on possibilities and components in design, art and architecture. Normal Architecture together with Studio Karya were commissioned to carry out the installation for Neue Artisans 4.0, under the theme “Technique”.

  Looking into their respective portfolios, designers discovered a shared fascination with the neutrality of grids, which served as the technique of design generation in a few of our projects. They were especially fascinated with the “as found” quality of grids and how it almost eliminates the need to impose any personal aesthetic preferences in making architectural projects. The project took on the form of The Grid as an installation which frames a space within a space and responds to the gridded layout of the exhibition venue.
