Within the refurbished school hall, the Chinese Culture Gallery transforms a simple wall into a luminous cultural archive.
Using a balanced mix of traditional motifs and LED technology, the installation chronicles the school’s history, honors past principals and benefactors, and celebrates community spirit through light and material harmony.

CONCEPT & DESIGN INTENT
Executed under a tight three-month schedule, the project required close collaboration between the school, alumni, and design team. Historical data accuracy, archival image restoration, and electrical safety compliance for LED systems were key considerations within the confined hall environment.
SPATIAL STRATEGY
Situated along the main hall’s longitudinal wall, the display functions as both a focal exhibition and a teaching backdrop. The modular wall composition — combining rectangular and circular illuminated frames — guides viewers chronologically from the school’s founding era to the present day.

MATERIALITY & DETAILING
Walnut veneers, gold-tone metal plates, and luminous acrylics deliver a refined and respectful aesthetic.
The rhythmic vertical paneling introduces visual balance, while concealed lighting animates the space subtly, evoking a sense of reverence and continuity.
PROJECT GOALS & OUTCOMES
The installation revitalizes the hall as an educational and commemorative venue — uniting history, gratitude, and identity. It provides a structured yet emotionally engaging narrative space for visitors, students, and alumni, reinforcing cultural belonging and institutional pride.
