Shanghai Airport at World Routes Expo

For over 4 years, we developed the booth design for Shanghai Airport – an organisation that consistently offers stunning perspectives into the country’s local culture through its booth presence 

to inspire

In World Routes 2019 in Adelaide, Australia, Shanghai Airport entrances its visitors with a garden scene that envelops anyone who steps in. With the booth built in likeness to traditional Chinese architecture, we made use of wooden Byobu structure and used holographic projections to depict mirages of a bamboo forest. 

Meant to emulate the serene gardens of Jiang Nan, the bamboo aesthetic casted on the translucent screens provide a moment of respite in intricacies of light, shadow, and perspective. 
Implying through its storiesShanghai Airport wants to provide ease and comfort.

Booth design plays on versatility and impressionable statements. Unlike 2019‘s work, Shanghai Airport at the World Routes 2018 offered different message to its visitors. At Guangzhou World Routes 2018, the brand focused on showcasing intelligent smart solutions. Cutting-edge technology was witnessed in its wall of vivid moving images. The exterior of the booth was composed entirely of LED screens that showed the stunning sights of Shanghai’s urban landscape. Panoramic shots extended seamlessly across the stand, bringing the city sights to the event while the interiors consisted of interactive element. 


to engage

At World Routes 2017 in Barcelona, Shanghai Airport’s booth stood out for its extensive use of greenery. Communicating the message of ‘Green Airport, Sustainable Travel’, the exhibit reflected the airport’s support for environmentally-conscious travel and was oriented in a circular fashion to symbolise Shanghai Airport’s vital role as an aviation hub in the region.

Ensuring safe and seamless 24/7 service, security of the store was considered thoughtfully, comprising high-tech infrastructure and hardware fitted into ceiling for spatial considerations and sensors to monitor the store. Personalised experiences were also highlighted through advanced facial recognition technology and a roving live bot in-store to offer human-to-human virtual chat when the support is required. With 5G enabled support rolled out with the installation of a solar-powered hybrid system, the self-sustaining container space allows services to be ‘connection-free’ during operations.

The modular store occupies a substantial 9 by 6 metres footprint that can be decoupled and freely transported to another location within a short timeframe. Customers can try out and purchase the latest phone models and 
accessories, and recontract or sign up for new plans at self-service kiosks at their utmost convenience.The container also utilised an automated mechanical extension to further extend the retail space by another 2 by 6 metres should the event calls for flexibility. Moving from downtown to neighborhood community, the hybrid service and lifestyle environment is shapeshifting retail experiences.

Conceptualising a futuristic scene, a blue colour palette was selected, tying in LTA’s corporate colour and representing the depth of intelligence in their strategies.In order to envision the forward-looking approach of the group, imaginations of future bus concepts were set up, allowing a glimpse of the innovative ways we would approach city living.  

Beyond the exciting lifestyle to come for the public, the gallery reveals the depth of LTA’s workflow and the rail technicians working in the background of operations. To recognise the experience of ground crews, we explored the site from thirteen levels underground. Using this encounter, we delivered accurate details of the successful railway system across the visual production of the exhibits, documenting rare scenes of the individuals behind the show.
