matias del CAMPO: Topology is the main driving force of the design of the Austrian pavilion, a major area of mathematics concerned with spatial properties that are preserved under continuous deformations of objects, for example deformations that involve stretching, but no tearing or gluing. It emerged through the development of concepts from geometry and set theory, such as space, dimension, and transformation.

The design of the cairo pods provides the chance to explore opportunities within the aggregation of repetitive objects that imply the creation of heterogeneous figurations. the cairo tessellation, known in mathematics also as example of equilateral pentagons that tile the plane, allow for a high variety of the topology of the plane. In the case of the cairo pods we the geometric plane was extended in the third dimension and delaminated to produce specific elements emerging out of the basic planar geometry. Forming three distinctive elements to comprise one pod. the pods purpose is to serve as exhibition vitrine in varying spaces.

matias del CAMPO & sandra MANNINGER: the mobile exhibition design for the austrian winery boom provided span with possibilities to explore performative surfaces and economy of form. to fulfill the multiplicious demands span relied on the concept of minimizing the number of elements, implying the tasks in two surfaces. the design process resulted in an elegant topology of the surface, subsequentialy encoding the form.
