2024 - One Day’s Light Exhibition Hall

This work mainly explores the changes in light at different times of the day, including morning, noon, dusk, and night, as well as how to use the characteristics of the venue’s lighting environment to explore the appropriate combination of time, light, exhibition hall structure, and exhibition form, in order to maximize the integration of light into the exhibition.
The design divides the four permanent exhibition halls into themes of morning, noon, dusk, and night according to the location of the venue and the angle of sunlight. Starting from the characteristics of light elements, the work discusses the combination of light and exhibition experience to enhance the effect of light itself and create a light environment atmosphere.
The morning light originates from the east side of the venue, with characteristics such as coolness, hardness, and fast angle changes. The design creates a light and shadow effect on the morning light grid wall through changes in the display panel hierarchy, creating an overall exhibition atmosphere of light，shadow，tree and sculpture. The morning exhibition hall has a two-story height and adopts a sloping roof with sloping windows to guide light. At the same time, reflective surfaces are set on the walls according to the angle of morning sunlight changes.
The noon sunlight is the top light and the strongest direct sunlight. The design utilizes the opening and closing changes of variable photovoltaic roofs to shape the direct sunlight, while synergistically avoiding direct sunlight with diffuse reflection on the water surface. The ground of the noon exhibition hall is set in the form of a whole water area, pedestrian walkways, and private exhibition platforms. Exhibits can be hung on movable exhibition boards. The main exhibition form is a scenario interactive exhibition, and the roof form can be adjusted according to the content requirements to control beam changes and increase interaction with people. In addition, the photovoltaic production capacity of the noon exhibition hall can serve the activities of other exhibition halls in addition to supplying this exhibition hall.
The dusk light comes from the west, with warm, soft, and diffuse characteristics. The exhibition hall is in the form of a dome with a high window on the west side of the second floor, and sunlight is diffusely reflected on the dome, creating a diffuse light atmosphere for the exhibition.
The night light mainly comes from the starry sky and artificial lighting. The exhibition hall design guides the light through different forms of a first-floor mirror and a second-floor skylight, allowing people to experience the atmosphere of observing the stars on both upper and lower floors simultaneously.
The work combines natural environment, sustainable development, and modern architectural functions to create a healthier, more comfortable, and sustainable living environment, further meeting the diverse and personalized needs of the flourishing development of exhibition art.
