Collapscapes is an innovative project inspired by the industrial revolution. The glass exhibition studies processes closely linked to industrialization.
Glass exhibition examines the results of industrialization
When the industrial revolution began, industrial processes were spatially limited. Companies often had large open spaces where machines were housed. Over time, the situation changed. Today the trend is clear: production halls are smaller, while manufacturing processes are increasingly mechanized. Collapscapes was inspired by this development. The glass exhibition and films on the subject were presented in Brussels and Geneva. Futuristic glass compositions reflect factories, mining funnels, tanks and chemical gases. These compositions reveal typical characteristics of modern industrial architecture. Visitors to the exhibition are also presented with 3D maps, drawings and films.
Glass exhibition combines film and modern art
The project was completed with a short film. Collapscapes is not a Hollywood product, but rather a work of modern art that reflects industrialization through a cinematic language. The glass exhibition focuses on architecture, not on the history of the industrial revolution. Alongside the exhibition, an additional software program called Socrates is presented. The program writes the dialogues. Collapscapes is a project by the design studio El Ultimo Grito, examining the role of design and presenting technological advances in production, film and communication.
The design studio El Ultimo Grito was founded by designers Rosario Hurtado and Roberto Feo. The London-based studio explores the relationship between architecture, culture and technological progress. Their work is now recognized throughout Europe. Two years ago, the duo created a network where research articles are published. In any case, we are delighted by their creativity, especially the intelligent combination of multiple forms of expression: 3D short films, works and software.
