SANS, a design duo from NZ, keep us up to date on their role as Exhibition Designers at Get It Louder in China.
With a broad range of projects in their portfolio, Yijing Xu and Neill Gaddes have backgrounds in architecture, industrial design and exhibition design, and have been working since June on the traveling exhibition, which 'moves' to Shanghai in October, although from what I gather it is more of an evolutionary process.
Yijing and Neill have been maintaining a blog which beautifully documents their involvement with the project. Link through here to check it out. An efficient and very flexible module design has proven incredibly versatile for SANS at Get It Louder, which manages to have a diverse and beautiful range of structural, furnishing and aesthetic applications. Check out their early tests with the prototype here, pretty awesome.
Here are some images of the project leading up to the Beijing chapter of Get It Louder, which was completed, and opened last week.

"Sans Strike Through is an apropos momentary act of design. Cheating to get through life, we appropriate the inappropriate to create something perishable and provisional, but always good. Driven by Yijing Xu and Neill Gaddes, we currently practice from Auckland, New Zealand in a rather schizophrenic composite of Architecture, Installation, Exhibition and Industrial Design capacities." -SANS
We hope to hear more from SANS soon.
My warm thanks for the use of their blog images.
