Invited by the Portuguese Innovation Agency (ADI), ReD participated in the "3th Jornadas da Inovação" at the International Lisbon Fair (FIL) in Lisbon. Featured in the section dedicated to the new portuguese technology-based companies, ReD presented a series of images illustrating the diversity of the works and services developed by the office in the last 3 years. Using individual light-tables, ReD also presented 4 physical objects produced by CAD/CAM technologies: a rapid-prototyping model of the XURRET System, a 1:1 scale sample of the MORSlide plywood panels, a wooden model of the Skyshelf and an acryclic laser-cut prototype of the FlyingCarpet.
The reaction of the visitors was extremely positive. By seeing the pictures and experiencing the physical objects, visitors could realize the design and material potential raised by the use of new digital technologies in architecture.
Through this exhibition ReD had the opportunity to establish a wide-range of personal and business contacts towards the development of future projects and collaborations.
