The Birdwing Gallery is a pop-up kiosk that was influenced from the Rajah Brooke Birdwing butterfly. The layout of the kiosk’s floor plan follows a similar structure and shape of the Rajah Brooke butterfly’s birdwings after a process of abstraction and inserting geometric shapes. The spatial organization of the kiosk follows a radial manner which allows the visitors to explore other spaces within the kiosk. The partitions act as the “walls” for the kiosk so that it is easier to move the partitions around or when the kiosk is required to move to another place.
