Concept design for The Edge of Government: 2017 World Government Summit in Dubai.
The goal was to create an inspiring and interactive environment which will act as a revealing portal into the future of how government can serve its citizens digitally and improve their lives, wellbeing, environment, economy and freedom.
There are two design directions - angular and cubical, both housing 12 exhibits and one centralized (summary) area for larger interaction, conveying a message of stepping from one dimension to the other - over the edge.
The flow and educational value of each exhibit would be enhanced using smart surfacing throughout the space to provide multi dimensional canvases in which to project richer points of interaction through meaningful, more engaging content, creating deeper, immersive narratives.
General look & feel - light, gradations of translucent to transparent, reflectivity, multi-layered, continuous surfaces
Project in cooperation with Engage Works, London - 2016
Sample projection themes - Refik Anadol

Concept 1 - Angular
Initial ideas - angular shapes creating multi-layered space
Further development:
Top view - central area (ceiling removed)
Perspective view (ceiling removed)
Summary area (isolated)
"Living canvas" - smooth projection changes, creating semi-transparent experience
Sample projections
Summary area - interior, potentially VR space:
Sample projections
Extracted exhibits - sample display systems
Concept 2 - Cubes
Initial ideas - top view
Further development:
Floor plan
Summary area - visitor journey (ceiling removed)
Interiors
