3. Sound of Years
Interior Design / Exhibition Design / Boston, Massachusetts /June 2020
Advisor：Francesca Liuni
The project is located at Harvard University. This project is the first complete exhibition design I have done, including the selection of exhibits, interior space design, interior structure design, display cabinet design, installation design, lighting design, exhibition catalog design, etc. Since I had very little contact with exhibition projects before, it was a challenge for me.
In fact, this space is not an exhibition space. It is a transitional space between the student study room and the teacher's office. It is a square box. The height of the room is ten meters, and the width is only five meters, so I decided to use vertical space to create a split-level indoor space with different heights through different heights to get more exhibition space.
During the field visit, I found that many students are resting in the corridors, because the entire building is academic, and there is no transitional space outside the restaurant on the first floor. I hope to combine the exhibition with the leisure space by browsing the Harvard University Museum In the collection, I found many exhibits related to music. I think music is a good way to relax, so I set the theme of the exhibition as music. The exhibits are music players of different ages, even with a history of more than 100 years. At the same time as the exhibition, I matched the music and rest space of the same period, so that students and teachers can have a relaxing space during rest.

The main point of the design of this space is how to use the height change to provide more possibilities for our exhibition. In addition to connecting the two floors, the teachers and students can easily go upstairs and downstairs. As a permanent exhibition, The most important thing is how to make this space best play its role and how to activate the surrounding space.
