Over 20 modules (3D sandboxes, tactile artifacts, interactive installations, etc.) offer an immersive touring experience that closes the distance between audiences and the Nanjing City Wall.
Design Challenge
The exhibition hall pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, which are directly sourced from the Nanjing City Wall and bear unique inscriptions, imbuing the exhibition hall with high cultural value.

It pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, with digital interactive installations to balance grand narratives with engaging activities, fusing cultural heritage and public education.
Inspiration
Inspired by the Nanjing City Wall's masonry techniques and spatial enclosure features, the exhibition hall adopts a unique architectural design. It is dominated by city wall gray and accentuated by thematic colors such as Forbidden City red and moat blue, enriching visual layering and embodying cultural depth. It pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, aided by multi-sensory digital interactive installations, creating a museum that is friendly to all-age audiences.
Project Duration
The project finished in May 2023 in Nanjing.
Operation Flow

From layout to form design, it establishes a coherent and sophisticated display system, enhancing the connection between the museum and the city wall ruins. Besides, it offers multiple interaction activities like brick inscription surname queries, wall memory recordings, and immersive animation, satisfying the needs of all-age audiences.
