– Creation of Contemporary Art Town –
Main design theme was to transform a space for commercial exhibitions into a space for an international art exhibition.
Our solution was to introduce an 8m-wide main street sandwiched between two large white walls of 6m height that ran diagonally across the huge venue space (L120mxW80mxH19m). These two walls shined brightly by being lit indirectly by 2 lines of fluorescent lighting fixtures with reflectors. This became the back screen for the art works, and thus, a strong building presence could be relatively erased.
These two walls and the street in-between made it possible for visitors to understand their immediate location and direction clearly.
