About Hkhs Exhibition Centre デザイン

改装された展示センターは、香港房屋協会の香港への70年にわたる貢献の歴史を強調することで、市民の信頼を醸成します。没入型VRやデジタルツインなどの革新的な展示が来場者を魅了します。来場者は中央に配置されたシンボルツリーに水を与え、これは市民と住宅政策を結ぶ架け橋を象徴し、同協会の人々を重視する姿勢と取り組みを表現しています。旧来のVRゴーグル付き映像は、VR機能を備えたLEDドームへと刷新されました。その課題は、このドームを鋭角な空間にいかに配置するかという点にありました。総じて、このセンターは信頼とより良い住まいへの憧れを喚起し、香港房屋協会の発展に不可欠な役割を果たしています。

Unique Properties: Re-opened in March 2024, the refurbished Exhibition Centre of the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) is a small place tasked to achieve a big goal. It is a key HKHS avenue to instil public confidence through underpinning a laudable message: HKHS has been a reliable and dedicated housing provider for Hong Kong in the past 70 years. They are committed to play the same role going forward and will continue to be an unwavering housing partner of Hong Kong families in the long run.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area 200 sqm, ceiling height 3m, ceiling clearance 2.5m
Tags: exhibition, interactive, multimedia, community, sustainability, people-oriented
Production Technology: Interactive kiosk controlled by old telephone, LED dome with 360 VR, 3D naked-eye animation, digital twin, instant polling with real time visualisation
Design Challenge: Challenges have pushed OVAL to escalate to a higher level of design acumen and craftsmanship. 20% of the total floor area is laid out in acute-angled configuration whilst low ceiling clearance at 2.5m aggravated the spacing issue. The solution of putting the 270-degree VR projection on dome-shaped screen in the triangle was a no-turning-back option due to post-Covid reluctance to use goggles. Lastly, OVAL must surf through voluminous content simultaneously for proposing on touch point anchors.
Research: Research was done in three different directions. User research revealed that less text and more humanised features were preferred. Communication strategy research whereby HKHS management repositioned the new Centre as an avenue for instilling public trust. Technical research calibrating the combination of 270-degree VR projection on a dome-shaped screen with content rotation triggered by motion sensing technology for accommodating visitors of different body sizes and heights.
Inspiration: In Hong Kong, there are families who wait for 5 years for a shelter in a public rental estate. The message disseminated by the Centre carries weight among them. OVAL’s effort is to enable visitors to take home a special experience that makes them feel connected with the message and cast their trust with HKHS. Content-wise, there is a lot to say. As for tone and manner, the visitor should be warmed by the ambience and the features that he touches and maneuvers during the visit.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2023 and finished in March 2024 in Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: Curated contents are displayed in three zones for sight by visitors who mostly come in as guided-tour participants. Each zone is filled up by exhibition items attired in multiple formats: physical boards, digital screens with physical levers for access to information and interactive games on computers and physical platforms. They lined up in a circular flow to echo with three themes: ‘Creating Homes for the Community’; ‘The Housing Ladder’ and ‘Creating Homes for Sustainable Living’.
