identical three-dimensional forms have been designed to physically interlock with each other in order to build a repetitive surface. visitors are encouraged to interact and create new structures.

along with it monochrome silk-screened panels are hung to the wall – interpretations of repeating patterns from which segments are blacked out in order to create a virus-like effect. since the entire regulatory mechanism of the design is based on random personal decisions, new patterns are continuously emerging. modular re.strukt is a project focused on the notions of modular standardization, industrialization and self-repeating systems contained in the utopian ideals of modernism.
