3rd prize
Designer: Ulrich Klages, Germany
Jury comments:  

… « elegant and practical form for work-tables » … « a very operational panel display system ... allowing full use of room height while linking posters and models, and still maintaining a sense of openness for the visitor » …
Designer's description of their project:  

Due to the restricted budget is suggested to use a simple but highly versatile exhibition system to present the objects, the printed media and the simulations.
The system consists of cylindrical vertical posts of approx. 8 cm in diameter.
Theses posts are to be positioned on the basis of a regular grid of 110 x 110 cm. They are fixed to the ground and the corresponding position at the ceiling in prepared attachments.
For any given exhibition of course only a very limited amount of necessary posts will be erected.
A simple but very flexible clamp it suggested to mount the objects at the posts or between a number of posts. This clamp allows the fixing all kinds of objects like showcases, panels, large exhibits or technical equipment and lighting.
The first room after the entrance area presents items of the collection in showcases as well as panels with works on paper. The overall light should be dimmed and the exhibits are to be illuminated by spotlights.
The high front wall gives room for a slightly tilted screen. The bottom edge will be raised well above mans height.
The presentation on the screen follows a predefined scheme; alternatively the video beamer could be triggered by buttons situated at the corresponding showcases.

The next room is entirely occupied by a large tilted table with an overhead projection of a computer simulation of the climate of the earth. The audience has the possibility to change parameters like the temperature, the population, the production etc. in order to subsequently see the effects.
The first room of the exhibition renders information to the theme by real objects and the medial presentation of the past and present situation.
The second room subsequently insinuates the thought of “What would be if ……”
The third and last room is presented in full daylight.
It gives an impression of the real immediate surrounding and the practical scientific work.
Aside of a presentation in showcases and on panels it is suggested to give the audience the possibility to actually use equipment in order to perform basic experiments.
This could be the use of a microscope or the identification of minerals by spectral analysis etc.
