    1. Soils’ Exhibition - Portal to Jaguarity


    Floor Plan & User Experience Plan



               From Soils´ Exhibition - Van Abbemuseum, 2024

     The spatial design of Portal to Jaguarity is grounded in the idea of fluidity, inviting the audience to move freely and intuitively through the space. Within the broader context of the exhibition, which explored the Soil as a connector of stories, the layout was conceived as a central axis that engages with neighboring works and the internal components of the project itself. The large tapestry, as the core element, was designed to enter into dialogue with the infographics, video, and the immersive experience of stepping into the tapestry. Positioned at the center of the space, it acts as a mediator, visible from all angles, connecting interior and exterior, and encouraging a continuous, open conversation with the surroundings.
