Research of Exhibition Design and Resource Integration

This research has produced remarkable and unique effect in interdisciplinary, resource sharing and collaborative work. This is an essential way to realize the innovative country, sustainable development and low carbon life. Exhibition design and resource integration are needed in large-scale national or regional events or various kind of small-scale projects. The success of Beijing Olympic Games, EXPO2010 Shanghai and other large-scale activities is reflected in two important aspects: In the macro aspect, the effective organization and management of the design teams from different disciplines have formed a strong force. In the micro aspects, the expertise of each team being brought into play in a rational and science-based approach has ensured capacity of the implementation in each link. Prof. Shi has been involved in many large-scale projects in display design field, and put into practice the core of this innovation design thought. For example, the project of “city image positioning and facilities design of Qujiang Development Zone in Xi’an” has closely reflected the importance of resource integration. As for the team with multi-disciplinary background and the localized design idea of making use of local natural resources (stones, wood, etc.), the core idea of this design innovation has been put into practice. However, these research directions haven’t yet been formed into a mature system. Therefore, it has great academic value and development potentials in future. Prof. Shi and his exhibition design team are working in this direction for further research. Their rich practical experience in this direction also lays a foundation for the theoretical construction of this field.
