Beijing Design Week / Site: Beijing, China / June 2017

This project is designed for the exhibition space appliances, and was earliest used in Beijing Design Week. The organizers will provide a space about 20 ㎡ for display, and there will be about one week of show time. Therefore, I fully considered the reuse of the appliances and the reasonable price of the materials in design.
The modern exhibition space is no longer limited to indoors, but is a more diverse space. It may be big as an entire city, or small as a corner. The exhibition place is everywhere with diverse forms. It will show the exhibits in space to passing pedestrians through this design, and will and will include the streets, surrounding buildings as part of traditional exhibitions.
In the fast-paced life, some small groups like individuals, organizations have higher needs for expressing themselves, and have a new request for exhibitions. Therefore, the exhibitions should be easy to operate, functional and diverse, and should deal with different scenarios. The modular design is used in the design, and the entire display space is combined by different modules, while the modular design makes products easy to store, and achieve different functions. I choose the environmentally friendly and low-price materials, as well as the materials of multiple use, so that they can be re-used and are environmentally. This display is mainly for young designers, artisans and young artists to organize their personal works exhibitions, reading clubs, creative markets and other activities.

I combined oriented strand board and loose board in the design. All oriented strand boards are adopted with advance environmental adhesives, whose formaldehyde emission is almost zero, and can be compared with natural wood. The loose boards have a high internal bonding strength, whose surface is very smooth, not only the board surface has the strength and various advantages of natural wood, it also avoid the defects of natural wood, and is very good in fire prevention. Moreover, the price of these two materials is much cheaper than natural wood, so they are ideal for showcase use.
