The project
Archicercle developed and manufactured the panels for a photo backdrop for the Universitat Politècnica de València. The installation features science and space-themed characters, with face openings that allow visitors to become part of the scene.
The studio’s contribution focused on the physical support for the backdrop: we designed the main structure and bases from scratch. This work defined the panel assembly and its supports, a structural design role distinct from the graphics on its surface.
The components were laser-cut to size from MDF. The structure and bases provide the physical foundation of the installation, while the vinyl carries the illustrations and UPV graphics.
After cutting, the studio team applied the vinyl to the panels by hand. The available video frames document this collaborative stage, with several people positioning and smoothing the covering. The finished piece brings the illustrated panels, face openings and supporting bases together as a single photo backdrop.
The face openings allow visitors to become part of the illustrated characters.
The bases are part of the structural design developed by the studio.
