Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture (UABB) Guangming Sub-venue – Guangming Inter-connected Future

The exhibition was connected to the 2017 UABB Guangming sub-venue, the Jingkou Community, through the planning of roads, installations, and activities, making this exhibition interconnected with the previous ones in site, time, and space.

The Challenge

Graphic design uses a two-dimensional language, while architecture and urban design use a three-dimensional language.

But is there a possibility to interpret, simulate and reproduce space without the common formal language of graphic design? This is the challenge the design team was faced with.

Project Vision

The vision was to create an exhibition that depicted the dialogue between plane and space.

The team incorporated this into their design with various overlapping shapes, colors and text that communicated this dialogue.

Design & Execution

The project team chose to project the font content onto various polygonal blocks in parallel.

This reviews the deformation effect of the font on the polygons in the way of plane projection, and then presents the direct font deformation effect in the way of plane projection. The team utilized this method as the graphic basis and design logic of our design. In this way, the team hoped to establish a dialogue between plane vision and spatial vision.
