The Design

About Color Symphony Pavillon

Color Symphony ist ein Pavillon, der in einem der bekanntesten Einkaufszentren Hongkongs installiert wurde. Der Pavillon feiert den ersten Sommer nach der Pandemie mit einer farbenfrohen und festlichen Atmosphäre. Mehrere Schichten farbiger Acrylplatten werden von einer weißen Rahmenkonstruktion in unterschiedlichen Höhen getragen. Das Sonnenlicht durchdringt die Platten und wirft vielfarbige Schattierungen auf den Boden. Das offene Layout lädt die Öffentlichkeit dazu ein, sich zu versammeln, auszuruhen und zu spielen. Die Grundfläche beträgt 180 Quadratmeter, die Höhe 8 Meter. Der Entwurf spiegelt die Energie der Stadt wider und bringt Hoffnung und Zuversicht zum Ausdruck.

Production Technology: The design of the white frame structure installation with colored acrylic panels is closely tied to the production process. The design determines the size, shape, and arrangement of the acrylic panels, as well as the structural requirements for the frame and foundation. During production, the design serves as a blueprint, guiding the fabrication of the frame structure, foundation, and acrylic panels. Close collaboration with the production personnel back and forth ensures that the design intent is accurately translated into the final manufactured components as well as the feasibility of the production of the components.
Design Challenge: Designing installations for an operating shopping mall within a short timeframe presents several challenges. Coordinating with existing infrastructure, managing traffic flow and accessibility, considering maintenance and upkeep, aligning with aesthetics and branding are crucial factors.
To overcome these challenges, efficient planning and collaboration with client, stackholder and the contractor, etc. is required. And at the same tme, minimizing disruptions to the mall's operations is fundamental.
Research: The pavilion project is located in an iconic landmark shopping mall in Hong Kong and it aims to celebrate the first summer after the pandemic. The design recognizes the need to provide a colorful and vibrant atmosphere for the general public, creating an inviting space for people to gather, rest, and play. By acknowledging the impact of the pandemic and responding to the desire for a positive and joyful experience, the project becomes highly relevant to the current social context.
Inspiration: The inspiration behind the design of a pavilion with layers of colorful acrylic panels, reflecting sunlight to create shades of different colors on the ground is to provide a festive feeling for the public to enjoy after the challenging times of the pandemic.
The pavilion draws inspiration from the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of Hong Kong. The use of colorful acrylic panels represents the energy and diversity of the city, while also symbolizing hope and positivity.
Project Duration: The project started in March and completed in August 2023.
Operation Flow: The layers of colorful acrylic panels in cloud shades create a visually striking appearance, evoking a sense of playfulness and joy. The use of different heights and the white frame structure not only provide structural support but also add an element of visual interest and depth to the pavilion. This aesthetic approach creates an inviting and exciting environment for the general public to enjoy during the summer season.
