About Transition Дызайн выставы

Transition — гэта кветкавая выстава, якая прадстаўляе 1400-гадовую традыцыю японскага мастацтва аранжыроўкі кветак, вядомага як ікебана, у сучасным асяроддзі. Адкрытая планіроўка не мае задняй сцяны, таму наведвальнікі свабодна перамяшчаюцца і разглядаюць кожную кампазіцыю з розных ракурсаў, а не толькі спераду. Натуральнае сонечнае святло і адаптыўнае асвятленне змяняюцца на працягу дня, таму прастора і жывыя кветкі бесперапынна трансфармуюцца. Модульныя пастаменты надрукаваны на 3D-прынтары з перапрацоўвальнай смалы, іх можна разбіраць і выкарыстоўваць паўторна. Роўная безбар'ерная падлога забяспечвае даступнасць усіх зон.

Unique Properties: An immersive flower exhibition engaging all five senses, tracing 1,400 years of ikebana and the kado philosophy of the life of flowers. Fresh floral works, shifting sunlight, and responsive lighting continuously transform both space and experience. A wall-less, open configuration overturns traditional frontal ikebana viewing, inviting active participation and enabling unrepeatable, time-based engagement with floral art.
Dimensions & Packaging: Exhibition area: approx. 300 sqm.
Monitor fixtures: 1965 mm Width x 470 mm Depth x 1195 mm Height.
Large stage: 3000 mm Width x 4200 mm Depth x 300 mm Height.
130-size modular lighting pedestals in 3 types: A: 400 mm Width x 400 mm Depth, B: 500 mm Width x 500 mm Depth, C: 800 mm Width x 800 mm Depth.
All components are designed for disassembly, reuse, and full barrier-free accessibility.Exhibition area: approx. 300 sqm.

Production Technology: The exhibition structure was realized using recyclable resin-based 3D-printed pedestals, minimizing waste and enabling modular reuse for future installations. The lighting design incorporated responsive LED systems to simulate natural transitions. Spatial modeling and daylight simulation were conducted using Unreal Engine to test sun paths and visual conditions, allowing for precise environmental calibration. Materials include wood, recycled steel, and living floral elements.
Design Challenge: Traditional ikebana shows erected one-off timber walls and fixtures, then scrapped them. We challenged that legacy, adopting a reusable system that slashes physical build. Pedestals are 3-D-printed from recyclable resin, designed for quick disassembly, transport, and redeployment, cutting material use and waste. With level floors and wide clearances, the fully barrier-free layout marries sustainability to inclusive design.
Research: In this show we discarded the rear wall once mandatory for classical ikebana and used self-standing fixtures, letting visitors wander freely. Single-use timber walls became reusable, 3-D-printed units of recycled resin, proving ikebana can travel to sites once impossible. Surveys showed 90 % of attendees were first-time ikebana viewers, revealing new audiences. Energized by this success, we are already planning the next “new-generation” flower exhibition.
Inspiration: Ikebana is a centuries-old tradition that unites time-based and spatial art. To honor this duality, we removed the rear wall once deemed essential, shaping a fluid gallery where changing daylight, responsive lighting, and living flowers mingle in shifting layers. Visitors roam freely, viewing each arrangement from many angles while bespoke Unreal-Engine simulations refined sun paths and sightless, letting space and work animate each other.
Project Duration: The project started on April 13, 2025, and concluded on April 20, 2025. It was exhibited at the “Gallery EAST” of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai.
Operation Flow: Visitors freely move through the open, wall-less gallery, exploring ikebana arrangements from multiple angles. Natural and dynamic lighting interact with fresh flowers, creating constantly shifting scenes. This spatial and sensory engagement encourages personal interpretation, breaking from the static, front-facing norms of classical ikebana.
