EXCHANGE CONCEPT

The phrase “The more we know each other, the more familiar and accepting we are to people with different backgrounds” is what motivated the core concept of the project. This produced the ‘exchange’ theme, where people would present, share, and reciprocate their own stories, experiences, and culture.

A. Education

These galleries are set up in a more traditional format for the flexibility of exhibit layouts. This style allows visitors to view and learn about the history of cultural pieces face-to-face.

B. Interaction

These galleries are equipped with ‘smart technology’ interfaces that encourages visitors to become more interactive and become more involved with their experience.

C. Exchange

Between each set of galleries is a space for visitors to converge into one space and reflect on what they had just learned. Small spaces for seating encourage visitors to exchange and discuss what resonated with them before proceeding.
