    Abstract

    The exhibition design for It’s a SMALL World explores how non-standardised design
    practices can make new use of old materials. Developing bespoke interfaces for
    digital design and fabrication the exhibition design investigates how these techniques
    allow us to rethink the traditional boundaries between architect and builder,
    designer and craftsman (Kolarevic 2008).
    Non- Standard-Practice and the new understanding of craftsmanship in design and
    architecture are the driving questions within the travelling exhibition It’s a SMALL
    world that has its first show from 27. August 2009 to the 1. February 2010 in
    the Danish Design Centre in Copenhagen. The exhibition presents 18 designers,
    architects and people from the crafts that have an innovative take on the future
    questions of sustainability, new materials and technology. Their products challenge
    traditional Danish Design and are yet interconnected in the countries traits and the
    way they design. Curated by the Danish Design Centre, The Danish Architectural
    Centre and the Danish Crafts Organisation groups of three from the different
    disciplines were identified in 6 scenarios with distinct expression.
