Eurasian Heritage Gallery
” Gallery design that encapsulates the long history of the Eurasian community and their contributions to Singapore. “
The Eurasian Heritage
The Eurasians have been an important part of the Singapore Story for more than two centuries. The gallery is divided into three zones, which will transport visitors back to the eras where the stories take place. Each zone provides a contextual setting to the stories and the exhibit methods involve both tactile and digital to enrich the visitors’ experience.
Kong studio, worked closely with SPM curators and Pico, to develop the theme of the exhibition, branding, art direction, exhibition graphic, motion graphic, and UI/UX for the digital interactive.
“The rich history and culture of the Eurasian community in Singapore are brought to life through a variety of artefacts and display techniques.”
From the Storytellers
We started with this singular mission: How do we bring the rich history closer to the visitors?
The answer is: a collection of artefacts, mementos, personal items, commemorative objects, and photos.
These are tangible memories to enhance the sense of the past, spark visitors’ curiosity and form conversations.
Using various exhibit methods, the gallery becomes more than just a space that exhibits objects, it allows visitors to experience, understand, and even embody a story through those objects.
“Various graphics techniques including diorama are applied throughout the gallery to flesh out the storyline and contents.”
“Tangibility brings the stories closer to the visitors.”
“The pivot of the story is unfold by its storyteller.”
“Azulejo tiles serve as the best key design language to showcase the stories of the Eurasian culture.”
Branding & Identity
Through understanding the historical identity of the Eurasian history, we draws inspiration from the traditional European tiles into a contemporary brand motif.
To emulate and enhance it’s cultural representative within the branding, we have studied and refined each symbolic elements of Euransians and created a brand motif which truly represent them.
