DESIGN NAME: Treessun Exhibition Stand
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Exhibition Hall
INSPIRATION: The last time that TREESSUN exhibited its products on trade show was 5 years ago. For this project, the client TREESSUN sought for unique exhibition stand design to convey its green concept and native complex. Drawing inspirations from traditional Chinese landscape painting, the designers integrated the display of wood flooring products with an experience of sightseeing tour, turned the display space into a large interactive art installation, and hence created brand new exhibition experience.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project integrates products, space and time into a whole, and features a circulation of "going up to the hill", "sightseeing on the hill" and "going downhill". As going up, visitors can have an overall view of the wooden hill piled up by flooring products. When reaching the top, they will enter a cave, where mirrors reflect the pillars clad with flooring products and generate a forest. On the way of going downhill, there is a digital waterfall, showing the brand's accolades.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The designers turned the exhibition stand into a large art installation featuring mountain and water formations, which allows visitors to explore it and have a sightseeing tour. The flooring products are perfectly integrated into and displayed through the wooden mountain and water. Following the route of "going up to the hill", "sightseeing on the hill" and "going downhill", visitors would have a fantastic experience and get to know the creativity and concept of the flooring brand TREESSUN .
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: January 2018 - March 2018

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 1. The designers applied parametric design to create curved surface of the "wooden mountain", and used programs and numerical control machine to ensure accurate size and precise assembly of the wooden components that constitutes the mountain.
2. Multimedia technology was utilized to turn the wooden boards into plunging water, forming a contrast of the dynamic and static with the hill.
3. The unpainted wood floorboards of the installation can be reused after the exhibition closes.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Category: exhibition stand
Area: 250 sqm
Main materials: solid wood floorboards (TREESSUN), multi-layer boards, metallic framework, brushed aluminum composite panels with mirror finish
TAGS: Integration, large art installation, landscape painting, sightseeing, curved surface, parametric design, numerical control machine, recyclable
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 1. The project explored to display wood flooring products through a large installation, and worked to create the interaction between the exhibition space and visitors through taking into consideration the characteristics of each type of product and utilizing parametric design method.
2. To give the installation an irregular 3D curved surface, the design team resorted to parametric design, which reduced error rate and made the irregular large-volume structure a reality.
CHALLENGE: There were two major challenges for this project. Firstly, it was challenging to create interaction among the exhibits, time, space, the art installation and visitors and ensure that the brand's concept and products were presented and conveyed in an interesting and effective way. Secondly, to achieve an integration of all independent elements, it required an innovative structure and logic for products display and adjustment in terms of the engineering and construction process.
