Interviews with Neville Yung

About the ceiling design concept of the Exhibition Center,I utilized a hexagonal ceiling pattern inspired by the chemical structure of coffee.Coffee,as a widely loved beverage,features a unique visual aesthetic in its hexagonal molecular structure,which also embodies a profound cultural connotation and a sense of life.By incorporating this hexagonal structure into the ceiling design,I aimed to create a modern yet warm atmosphere,allowing visitors to experience a distinctive aesthetic sensation from the moment they enter the center.Moreover,the hexagonal ceiling pattern symbolizes connection and communication.Each hexagonal unit serves as a small social space,encouraging people to interact and engage with each other.This design aligns with Vanke's pursuit of community interaction and harmonious coexistence as a real estate developer,and is more likely to evoke emotional resonance among visitors,allowing them to appreciate the beauty of the design while also feeling Vanke's vision for a better future community life.

About the location of the architectural model ,I decided to place the architectural model display in the rear area of the center,contrary to the traditional layout of sales centers.This decision was primarily based on a reflection and innovation of the traditional layout.Traditional sales center soften position the architectural model prominently in the front area to attract visitors attention.However,I believed that this layout might cause visitors to focus too much on the model itself,neglecting the overall experience provided by the sales and exhibition center.To break with this tradition,I chose to place the architectural model display in the rear area of the center.This arrangement offers several benefits.Firstly,it encourages visitors to explore the sales and exhibition center more deeply,gradually understanding the project's features and advantages through a series of displays and interactions.Secondly,placing the model in the rear area provides visitors with a more private and focused viewing environment,allowing them to appreciate and understand the architectural details more closely.Finally,this layout also helps create a"treasure hunt"-like experience,where visitors discover surprises as they explore,enhancing their engagement and satisfaction.By adopting this innovative layout,I hope to provide visitors with a richer and more profound experience,allowing them to appreciate Vanke's projects while also feeling the charm and fun brought by the design.

We cleverly integrated various doll elements,aiming to add vitality to the space while maintaining its professional atmosphere.These dolls were not placed arbitrarily but carefully selected and arranged to ensure they coordinate with the overall theme and style of the sales and exhibition center.Firstly,the choice of dolls was based on a deep understanding of the target audience.I learned that potential clients of Vanke projects often value quality of life and appreciate creative and interesting designs.Therefore,I chose dolls that align with the project's positioning,such as cute animal figures and cartoon characters,which appeal to the audience's aesthetics and resonate with them.Secondly,the integration method of the dolls was also crucial.I adopted both embedded and accent methods.The embedded method involves incorporating dolls as decorative elements into various corners of the sales and exhibition center,such as counters,bookshelves,and lounges,making them part of the space and integrating with the overall design.The accent method involves placing large or eye-catching dolls in certain key locations to attract visitors' attention and create a joyful atmosphere.Finally,to ensure that the integration of dolls does not detract from the professional atmosphere of the sales and exhibition center,I paid attention to the coordination of colors and materials.The colors of the dolls align with the overall tone of the sales and exhibition center,and the materials chosen also match the space's style,such as wood,metal,or fabric.This coordination ensures the harmonious integration of the dolls while high lighting the quality and texture of the space.Through this design approach,the Vanke Sales and Exhibition Center in Shijiazhuang adds more vitality and fun while maintaining a professional atmosphere.Visitors can appreciate the project information while also feeling the designer's effort and creativity,thereby deepening their impression and favorable feelings about the project.
