About MANtransFORMS

Article written by Nicolás Martín Díaz and Carlos Mombiela Torres In 1976, the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York reopened its doors with an exhibition that sought to redefine the disciplinary boundaries of design. Under the exhibition MANtransFORMS , Hans Hollein, in collaboration with a large group of architects and designers succeeded in manifesting the wishes of the museum's director, Lisa Taylor. Taylor’s aim was to demonstrate that exhibition design can become not just a collection of artifacts, but a collection of ideas where objects reveal the design process itself. En 1976, el Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum de Nueva York reabrió sus puertas con una exposición que pretendía redefinir los límites disciplinarios del diseño. Con la exposición MANtransFORMS , Hans Hollein, en colaboración con un amplio grupo de arquitectos y diseñadores, consiguió poner de manifiesto los deseos de la directora del museo, Lisa Taylor. El objetivo de Taylor era mostrar cómo el diseño expositivo puede consistir no sólo en una colección de artefactos, sino en una colección de ideas en la que los objetos revelan el propio proceso de diseño. The exhibition integrated the environment as a vehicle of artistic media capable of constructing an experiential ambient. Thus, facilitating visitors' understanding via immersive experiences focused on particular designed objects. Architects Arata Isozaki, Buckminster Fuller, O.M. Ungers, Richard Meier, Nader Ardalan and Karl Schlamminger, designers Ettore Sottsass and George Nelson, filmmaker Murray Grigor, and design critic Peter Bod each of them contributed with the design of installations. Hollein acted as the ‘conceptualizer’ of the exhibition with Hermann Czech as the project manager. La exposición incorporó el entorno como un vehículo de comunicación artística capaz de construir experiencias inmersivas centradas en determinados objetos de diseño, facilitándose así la comprensión de los visitantes.
