| DESIGN NAME: Urban Renewal Exploration Centre PRIMARY FUNCTION: Urban Renewal INSPIRATION: The Urban Renewal Exploration Centre targets to a wide audience, ranging from primary and secondary students to local community with an objective to communicate the urban renewal efforts and their benefits. To translate the complex topics and diversified information to the public, high technology was adopted to present a real-life experience of dilapidated housing, mock ups and exhibitions to convey the information in a clear and orderly manner. The venue is also furnished with interactive multimedia games to add fun and allow the public to gain a deeper understanding of the topics. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The venue is divided into two areas, namely the exhibition area and activity room. The former one is dialogue friendly in design featuring multimedia facilities and various fun-based interactive multimedia games. Visitors experience the poor living environment of residents in old districts with the support of smart technology and gain hands-on urban renewal experience through playing the games and better understand the benefits that the projects have brought to the community. The activity room provides a stage and setting to facilitate the engagement activities. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Smart technology inspires visitors to understand and approach urban renewal issues from various perspectives and digital media allows easy updates. A systematic introduction of seven urban renewal projects is arranged. To control the flow of information, it is installed with the iBeacon-enabled E-tour technology, by which visitors can hold an iPad to obtain automatically feeded information while following the designated route for the tour so they understand the topics step by step and inspire them to think about the future development of the city before the end of tour. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project is commenced within one year. It is at H6 CONET located on the Ground Floor of The Center, Hong Kong.
