Thesis - Teknisk Design

Oskar Karlsson, Petter PolsonMaster Thesis 2011 at Chalmers University of TechnologyResult and Analysis4.3.2 Outdoor exhibit conceptsSince there were fewer requirements on the outdoor exhibit compared to the temporary exhibition, the concepts for theoutdoor space varied a lot in design, technical solutions and in content. The concepts were called The Inverted Globe,Augmented Reality, Renewable Energy, and The Egg and are briefly described below. The Inverted Globe and The Eggworked well as attractors since they were large and eye-catching. The Renewable Energy concept made use of the waterarea next to the Urban Sustainability Centre and the Augmented Reality concept incorporated innovative technologywhich allowed futuristic virtual installations. By presenting concepts that are distinctively different from each other, abroad range of ideas could be incorporated, which generated interesting discussions on what features that were desiredand feasible to develop.Figure 4.14 The initial four outdoor exhibit concepts4.4 Concept evaluationThe results of the concept presentation and survey are summarised in the table below. The complete answers to thesurvey can be found in the appendix (See Appendix XX - Concept survey Results on page 128).Analysis of the feedbackIt is important to consider all the feedback from the stakeholders so that as many important opinions as possible willbe included in the final concepts. One clear trend in the feedback was that a two-story construction was not a feasiblesolution for the temporary exhibition concept since it would not fit into the building. However, the set route in The Hub43
