Completed in 2025, this project involved restoring two historically significant architectural-scale models of Tseung Kwan O Hospital and designing and fabricating a bespoke display installation.
The scope focused on carefully reviving the original models—repairing aged components, refining architectural details, and reinstating material clarity—while introducing a contemporary display system that presents both models cohesively within the hospital’s public space.
Beyond restoration, the project reimagines how architectural heritage can be reintroduced in a modern institutional setting. A new display plinth, integrated lighting, and updated typographic treatment for the hospital name were developed to give the installation a renewed identity and presence.
The result is a refreshed and dignified presentation that brings new life to existing assets, offering the hospital a renewed visual narrative and a forward-looking approach to architectural display. The client received the completed installation well and represents a meaningful exploration of preservation through design.
2025년에 완공된 본 프로젝트는 장군오 병원을 위해 역사적 가치를 지닌 두 개의 건축 모형을 복원하고, 이를 위한 새로운 맞춤형 전시 구조물을 설계·제작한 작업입니다.
프로젝트의 핵심 범위는 노후된 구성 요소를 정밀하게 보수하고, 건축적 디테일을 정제하며, 재료의 명확성을 회복하는 데 집중하는 동시에, 두 모형을 병원 공공 공간 안에서 하나의 통합된 전시로 제시할 수 있는 현대적인 전시 시스템을 도입하는 것이었습니다.
단순한 복원을 넘어, 본 프로젝트는 건축적 유산이 현대적인 공공 기관 환경 속에서 어떻게 새롭게 해석될 수 있는지를 제안합니다. 새롭게 설계된 전시 받침대와 통합 조명, 그리고 병원 명칭에 적용된 업데이트된 타이포그래피는 전시에 새로운 정체성과 존재감을 부여합니다.
그 결과, 기존 자산에 새로운 생명력을 불어넣은 품격 있고 정제된 전시가 완성되었으며, 이는 병원에 신선한 시각적 서사와 미래지향적인 건축 전시 방식을 제시합니다. 완성된 설치물은 클라이언트로부터 매우 긍정적인 평가를 받았으며, 디자인을 통한 보존의 가치를 잘 보여주는 의미 있는 사례로 남았습니다.
