Conceptual Design of Temporary Exhibition Platform and Smart Grid Exhibitionfor Siemens Urban Sustainability CentreResult and Analysisand The Tunnel was preferred over the free route in The Mingle. Another crucial feature of the temporary exhibition wasto keep it flexible and continue developing the modular concept.The concepts for the outdoor exhibits all received some good feedback and some negative opinions. A combination ofthe different concepts where all the appreciated features are merged into one concept was therefore suggested.Modules & LoungeSmart PassStructureStation 1 – Smart GridIntroductionStation 2 - Actors andMarketsStation 3 - Cases andSolutionsA modular concept is good to ensure flexibility in the exhibition, which isvery important. The relaxed lounge area is suitable for conversation.The idea of a smart pass is well received but the already existing RFID tagsmay be sufficient. Good for a high-tech company as Siemens.A one storey concept is a must. The flexibility is important. "IKEA" conceptwith a set walking route and order of stations is good.The more simple, module based concepts with screens are popular. Backprojected dome was not preferred. Tunnel concept different from Event'sexhibition and would be remembered.The game idea was very popular. The only concern is cost for development.It may be possible combine with the existing smart grid game and should becoordinated with the City of the Future to avoid overlap.The best combination would be to have an interactive table where peoplecan gather and discuss and information can be brought home.Outdoor conceptsFigure 4.15 Table of stakeholder feedback on initial conceptsUsing the water is interesting but concept 3 (Renewable Energy) is not fullythought through. Augmented reality is innovative but could be combinedwith a physical attractor. Vandalism is an important issue to consider.Augmented realityAugmented reality is a term for a live director indirect view of a physical, real-worldenvironment whose elements are augmentedby computer-generated sensory input such as sound,video, graphics or other data. The technology canthus combines real world scenery with virtualimages and let the user see virtual projectionsthrough e.g. a smart phone cameraor other technical equipment.44
