About Discovery and Exploration Spatium Expositionis

Inventio et Exploratio est spatium expositionis pro recentibus inventis archaeologicis e Shaanxi, Sinis. Circiter quingenta artificia, a temporibus praehistoricis usque ad Dynastiam Tang pertinentia, in area quadringentorum octoginta quinque metrorum quadratorum cum altitudine duorum metrorum et septuaginta centimetrorum monstrantur. Reticula decem per decem centimetrorum et triginta per triginta centimetrorum tamquam lingua visualis adhibentur, quadrata ab effossoribus archaeologicis delineata referentia. Reticulum visitatoribus auxilio est ad mensuram cuiusque obiecti in densa expositione legendam. Structurae cupreae diversarum magnitudinum antea confectae sunt ut obiecta in parietibus tuto figerentur.

Production Technology
The work started in the design with a lot of sketches and drawings for the combined display of different implements. In order to ensure stability and safety, they designed fixed structures of different sizes and let the factory process them in advance.The fixed structure is made of copper material, which is processed and manufactured by professional technicians according to the drawings, and finally installed on site.
Design Challenge
Cultural relics vary in size, variety and weight, so how to show the best effect in an appropriate way has become the most difficult part of our design activities. We integrate the visual grid application into the design, and try to perceive the scale relations of various cultural relics in the dense display through the grid. Another part of the difficulty is that there are about 150 bronze mirrors,.ceramic and tiles in one area, and how to fix them on the wall safely and aesthetically is a problem. In order to solve this problem, we designed different types of fixed copper structures and spent one month to process it.
Research
Proportion and scale are the core of design.How to classify different kinds and sizes of objects in limited space,and then interpret them with visual aesthetics is the goal of design research.The designer considers using 10*10CM and 30*30CM grid as visual language in space,and then think about the transformation of time and space.Grid is a square symbol used by archaeological excavators in exploring and drawing.At the same time, people can also perceive the scale relationship of various cultural relics in such a dense display space through grid vision,which is a new understanding and experience in function or visual aesthetics.
Inspiration
About 500 artifacts from prehistory to Tang Dynasty are exhibited in this space. These cultural relics have certain historical and artistic value and are the national treasure of China. In order to present the exhibition to the audience more clearly and intuitively at the first time, they designed the exhibition according to the objective conditions, trying to create different exhibition experience.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2018 and finished in October 2018 in Xi'an City.
Operation Flow
This is an intensive display design created in a limited space. It uses modern techniques to deduce the continuous history and culture, while seeking the sense of order, and the mixing of multiple levels of visual impact to complete the artistic expression of space.
