Proxemics in Exhibition Space

Tools: Material Prototype, Blender, TinkerCAD, Figma,Notion

This project explores proxemics for crowd organization and space optimization in open centers, ensuring safe distancing and efficient flow—crucial for pandemic-responsive design. Solutions include  Beacon technology for transmitting information and schedules, Social spaces that respect covid guidelines, and boundaries, installing barricade systems, and redesigning a Kiosk model with features and utility. Improve efficacy for operational conduct.

Efficient convention center space reorganization with appropriate crowd management and minimizing health hazards. Maintain adequate interpersonal distances.

Probing Questions

• Personal Space & Proxemics – How do individual differences (occupation, culture) shape interpretations of personal space, and how can proxemics principles guide human-object interactions to preserve the value of artifacts without invasion?
• Spatial Design & Capacity – How can spaces be designed or converted to manage crowd flow, distinguish landscape/floor capacity, and maintain comfortable distances — even in large or crowded environments?
• Visitor Comfort & Behavior in Exhibition Spaces – What makes people uncomfortable in public spaces, and how do attendees collectively interpret ambiguous information — and can a zero-touch experience still be achieved in busy environments?
• Exhibit Effectiveness & Configuration – Do exhibit layouts and media choices actually influence visitors the way designers intend, and how can display and footpath territories be better reviewed to maximize impact?
