Pop-Up and Modular Visualization

Title:

Pop-Up and Modular Chapter Visualization - The Experience and Exhibition Design Handbook

Brief/Context:

This is an on-going project that I am working on for this quarter with Professor Tim McNeil for his up-coming published book The Experience and Exhibition Design Handbook. He reached out to me and a few other students from last quarter’s Exhibition Design class to help with creating 3D visualizations for different chapters of his book. For the past few weeks I have been working on the “Pop-Up and Modular” chapter, which focuses on the different ways an exhibition space can be divided and the multitude structures that can be used. To best demonstrate this, I based the design on an expo space as it is a space that often uses many ways of division.

Tools:

Illustrator, Vectorworks, Twinmotion

Process:

As I was assigned the visualization for the “Pop-Up and Modular” chapter, I started this project by looking at the different forms of how exhibition spaces can be divided such as L-shape walls, fabric walls, half-open rooms, domes, etc (from Professor McNeil). This helped to jumpstart my sketches of the general layout I wanted, in order to fit all the various forms. I made an isometric view sketch as well as a graphic version on Illustrator. During this process, I had weekly meetings with my professor and the other students who were helping on different sections of the book. After each meeting, I got a lot of feedback, which was helpful for the next step. I moved the project into Vectorworks and created different renderings there and on Twinmotion. Once I had renderings, I spent the next few weeks adjusting the book page layout by playing around with pull-outs for details, changing the labeling system, and adding more elements to the designed exhibition space.
