‘Urbanian’ at Shanghai Expo
Together with designers Kossmann.dejong, Hypsos undertook design development coordination of Urbanian, one of the five prestigious “Theme” pavilions at Expo 2010 Shanghai China.
The exhibition told the real life stories of 6 families in 6 fascinating cities across the five continents. To make the greatest emotional and experiential impact, dynamic displays featured innovative multimedia and video programmes and showed the day- to- day life stories of the families. Contextual artifacts and iconic urban forms were emphasized with theatrical lighting and audio and deepened the shared impression of “reality” between visitors and the families.
Hypsos provided exhibition design engineering and specification of AV hardware, lighting and programming.
