The Design
About Narrative Installation 美術館建築
「Narrative Installation（ナラティブ・インスタレーション）」は、中国・広州の美術学院キャンパスのために構想された歴史博物館である。本プロジェクトは、既存のキャンパス建築を、建築・展示・ランドスケープ・没入型メディアを統合した空間的ナラティブ装置へと変貌させた。約2,315平方メートルの空間に9つのテーマゾーンが回遊動線上に配置され、2つの出入口を備える中央ホワイエによって結ばれている。タッチパネル、人感センサー連動の映像、物語性を帯びた照明により、来館者は自らのペースで巡ることができる。軽量な構造補強が、柔軟な空間変化を支えている。

- Unique Properties
- The project transforms a traditional history museum into a spatial narrative device by integrating architecture, exhibition, landscape, and immersive media. Unlike static displays, it creates an open, interactive environment where viewers actively engage with history through physical, digital, and emotional layers of experience.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The total built area is approximately 2315 square meters. The space includes 9 thematic areas, modular exhibition bays, digital interaction zones, and a central foyer with dual access. It integrates digital projection, motion sensors, and scalable display units for real-time updates.

- Production Technology
- The project employs immersive media, modular exhibition systems, and spatial sequencing techniques. Integration of audiovisual content, narrative lighting, and custom-built interactive installations enhances the user journey. Lightweight structural retrofitting allows for flexible spatial transformation of the existing campus structure.
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge was balancing historical accuracy with contemporary engagement. Adapting an existing space while ensuring architectural integrity and digital functionality required resolving technical, symbolic, and emotional complexities under tight deadlines and budgetary limitations.
- Research
- A qualitative, user-focused study was conducted to explore spatial narrative in education environments. Methods included archival analysis, stakeholder interviews, and prototyping. Insights revealed the effectiveness of immersive design in enhancing historical engagement, influencing educational institutions seeking experiential storytelling.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the 70th anniversary of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, the design reimagines how institutional memory can be conveyed through space. Drawing from contemporary narrative theory and spatial storytelling, it seeks to build a dynamic bridge between historical legacy and the evolving cultural consciousness of future generations.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2022 in Guangzhou, China, and finished in November 2023. It was inaugurated as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts on the University City campus.
- Operation Flow
- Visitors move through nine thematic zones laid out in a loop, guided by multimedia storytelling and physical cues. Interaction occurs through touch panels, motion-activated visuals, and layered content, allowing users to navigate at their own pace while forming personal connections with historical content.
