About South China Book Festival 展覽設計

《南國書香節》係為喺廣州舉辦嘅一項公共文化活動而設計嘅展覽項目。展覽面積達9,050平方米,僅用兩日時間搭建完成。可回收模組化結構同數碼互動設備相結合,將實景與虛擬現實融為一體。空間佈局仿照陳氏書院「三進五間」嘅格局展開,六大主題分區以唔同花卉同色彩加以區分。開闊嘅視野同無障礙通道將各個分區串連成一條連貫嘅閱讀動線。

Production Technology
Designers chose the unique and characteristic culture in Canton, The Chen’s Lineage Hall as prototype, forming a clear spatial circulation in the formal order of "Three entrances and five rooms". Combining different colors of flowers with six "YUE", corresponding to different floral languages and refined patterns also enhance the recognition of the exhibition area, symbolizing the historical imprint of urban reading from the past to the present and to the future.
Design Challenge
Because the exhibition returned with great expectations after three years and coincided with its 30th anniversary, the five-day "largest scale in history" festival took only one month from preparation to construction to the opening. How to make the it in-depth and meaningful within a limited time, set off Guangzhou's thousand-year cultural heritage and show one of the world's first tier cities, and make the effect of the space to be more hierarchical and orderly, is the focus of this design.
Research
Nodes of sensory experience are placed in the exhibition space to create a unique logical order in each area. In this way, the entire venue is connected to form a varied and complete order experience. "Study room in the Flower City", the interior design interprets and responds to the theme of the exhibition in an overall.
Inspiration
The creation of book is different from purely formal design, but aims to establish a coordinate system in space. Through the reference system of perception and order, we can learn from the inherent laws of spatial activities, 'pre-plan' the logic of streamlines, and find rich and identifiable spatial rhythms.
Project Duration
The South China Book Festival has been held from August 18 to 22, 2023, in Guangzhou. It only took about a month to design and only two days to build.
Operation Flow
The visual transparency of the space and the accessibility of the internal connect each zone together. These ultimately make external integrity, internal openness, and perceptual order jointly constitute the unique spatial rhythm of the South China book festival. Reading·National Reading: As the entrance space of the exhibition, the orange Punicagranatum symbolizes wealth and happiness, and the scroll-shaped bookshelf displays the new era themed publications.
