Layers of Experience

Chinese social structures are changing. There are multitude of online platforms in China, the more people connect on mobile the more isolated they become. Technology evolves but the fundamental dynamics of human desire and interaction remain. Years ago, we used to make buildings. Then we started to create stories in spaces. Now we are working on multi-purpose, multi-sensory environments that create multiple experiences for human Beings. Have we previously only looked at independent entities servicing a space (furniture, digital, human behavior, living parameters); it is now that these activations start forming spaces around us. This speech will start from the new shopping experience in China and explore the relationship between people and space and the layers of experience.

topic

Emotion evoking signage

-Design for creating cultural and social values-

We live in the city and inadvertently come into contact with the logo in various scenarios. These logos are not particularly concerned with us, but they are essential at a critical moment. On the other hand, the logo also affects people's emotions and plays an important catalytic role in promoting communication between people and environments.

This speech will introduce the experience design of creating cultural and social values through the Japanese logo design case.

Topic

The characteristics of museum space and environmental design

As a new form of architectural community, Chinese museums have developed rapidly in recent years, and various art galleries, natural museums, and planning museums have sprung up and formed a spectacular museum community.

This speech mainly explains the theme and the space narrative of the exhibition and the exploration of the development trend of the future museum display design through the practice of space design in the museums. The museum is a large experiential space with unique architectural and spatial features. Storytelling is an important part of museum display design and an important part of communication between people and space. The volume, form and content of the museum all over the world have different narrative angles and forms of exhibition. The communication between the museum space and the visitors has become a direction for further research, forming a future-oriented museum design approach and emerging practices.

Join the SEGD sponsored CIty Brand Conference in Nanjing May 17-19

 

How might we design and brand Chinese Cities to reflect their culture, history, landscape, industries or economic characteristics?

 

Why should we brand cities?

The success of a cities brand directly relates to it's economic competitiveness and ability to attract young creative and innovative professionals to their city.  Its GDP, human resources and the level of happiness of its people are all related to how strong and differentiated a brand a city has developed over time.

As we enter the Experience Economy, where people are more interested in experiences than products or services, a cities brand becomes even more important that those of its products and corporate brands.  

A cities identity is reflected in the combination of its logos, graphic identity, signs, wayfinding signage, traffic signals, smart interaction systems, architecture, unique landscape and geographic setting, etc.  In order to build a strong identity for a city requires the work of designers from all disciplines.

Compared with western countries, China has a much longer history and it's cities are developing faster but it has fewer cities that are world famous.  Amazing skyscrapers, crossovers, high ways, etc., begin to all look alike in every city in China, making it hard to distinguish one city from another.

As China moves from an industrial to a services to an experience economy, it has the chance to develop city brands that will strengthen regional economies and provide tangible, visible reasons for young creative professionals to develop and move to cities that offer the type of cultural, creative and outdoor activities that they want to participate in.

City Brands represent the next wave of economic development within China.

Join us to learn more about what a city brand is, how to create them and the power that they possess economically. Hear speakers talk about the different ways they are supporting clients to develop City brands.
