- Production Technology
- EPDM, made from recycled rubber used in tyre manufacture and commonly found in playground, was adopted as dominant flooring material. It could not only create a leisure, playful, playground-vibe but also cause less harm to the environment. According the report Building for the Future from Greenpeace, EPDM was ranked the highest for their low-environmental impact as it is non-toxic, non-polluting rainwater, high durability and 100% recyclable.
- Design Challenge
- To engage and allure different age groups, the effort to create fascinating design, apply bold color and design captivating props were made. The concept of chess board was purposely created in the central business district of Hong Kong so as to build an oasis and magnify the contrast. Besides, bright and dazzling colours were used throughout the outdoor exhibition to create a vivid and amusing atmosphere. Also, those embedded props on the chess board are tempting triggers for people to check in and take selfie.
- Research
- With the need to present a vast number of hard facts within limited exhibition area, all content was required to be presented in a subtle, fun and interactive way without overwhelming the public. As such, facts about infrastructures of land, sea and air were translated into simple line graphics and fun facts and be embedded into the physical platforms. Moreover, with the mobile game, lively animation and mini game were designed to impart the content in a fun and interactive way.
