Scenography is a powerful architectural approach that seemingly builds otherworldly universes. Although it is usually associated with either set design and theatre aesthetics, or immersive exhibitions staged in the museum world, at its core, scenography is a spatial art where various artistic disciplines combine in order to create fictitious and otherworldly spaces. Often removed from direct references to daily reality, such transportive experiences are less a form of escapism and more aimed at creating fertile places for the imagination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From environmental innovation to digital detox, the following nine A+Award-winning<\/a> projects use scenography as a conceptual tool to create impactful environments that respond to various program requirements and imagine a better world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Beijing Daxing International Airport<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>ADP Ing\u00e9nierie<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Zaha Hadid Architects<\/span><\/a>, Beijing, China
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Project of the Year
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Popular and Jury Winner, Transportation Infrastructure<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Airport design presents a number of challenges, not least of which is overcoming the typological pitfall of being<\/span> \u2018non-places\u2019<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 or, transit hubs that will never be destination in their own right. This is precisely why Zaha Hadid Architects\u2019 use of scenography is so brilliant. Organized around a central courtyard\u2014an ode to traditional Chinese spatial organization\u2014every aspect of the design aims at intuitively guides passengers as they navigate throughout the building, while simultaneously making a memorable visual statement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The multilayered space consists of six flowing forms that radiate from the central space and are housed beneath a network of linear skylights. The roof itself springs from the ground, creating structural spans of up to 100m that not only maximize fluidity of space\u2014thereby alleviating congestion\u2014but also ensure the highest degree of flexibility for future reconfigurations. Mind-bending curves permeate the design both structurally and aesthetically, and the high-contrast black and white aesthetic accentuates the transportive motif of fluidity. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

National Museum of Qatar Gift Shops<\/a><\/strong> by\u00a0<\/span>KOICHI TAKADA ARCHITECTS<\/span><\/a>, Doha, Qatar
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Retail<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Dahl Al Misfir (Cave of Light<\/a>) is an expansive, phosphorescent cave with a deep internal structure located in the heart of Qatar. Known for the moon-like glow emitted by its gypsum crystals, this natural landmark served as inspiration for the National Museum\u2019s gift shop design. Using 3D modeling software, 40,000 individual wooden pieces, all curved, were designed to create an immersive timber grotto.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Each piece is entirely unique and required skillful and attentive on-site assembly by a team of artisans overseen by Italian master carpenter <\/span>Claudio Devoto<\/span><\/a>. The result is a complex, scenographic space that breaks down boundaries between natural and architectural, heritage and innovation, arousing wonder and a sense of discovery that can be carried into the museum\u2019s exhibitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

EKH CHILDREN HOSPITAL<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>IF (Integrated Field co.,ltd)<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Samut Sakhon, Thailand
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Health Care & Wellness<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hospitals are known as sterile environments that can give rise to ominous emotional climates for patients and their families. Designed with children in mind, this hospital in Thailand is a scenographic environment that aims to inject a sense of fun into medical visits that could otherwise be scary. A giant slide greets patients in the entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of their stay.<\/p>\r\n

A cartoonish, cloud-covered pool is visible through windows that face onto the parking lot, and each clinic\u2019s waiting area also appears like a sort of light-hearted playground. Deliberately avoiding perfect geometric forms, every aspect\u2014from doorways to seating areas\u2014are deliberately formed with curved lines, and scaled to a size that corresponds to children\u2019s body proportion. The pastel color scheme and use of indirect natural light further augment the gentle accommodation of the space, which bespeaks softness, comfort, and warmth for young patients.<\/p>\r\n

NigerHeritage Niamey Mus\u00e9e du Fleuve<\/strong><\/span><\/a> by <\/span>Stantec<\/span><\/a>, Niamey, Niger
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Popular Winner, Unbuilt Cultural<\/span><\/p>\r\n

NigerHeritage is an international effort that seeks to preserve Niger\u2019s rich cultural and natural history by displaying an unparalleled collection of archaeological and paleontological treasures that belong to the expansive desert area and its nomadic peoples. Located in Niamey, the design draws inspiration from the vital relationship between the capital’s geo-historical location and the exceptional museum collection.<\/p>\r\n

Originally a cluster of villages, the city was founded on the Niger River in the 18th century; water has been central to life, commerce and recreation and will continue to be vital in the future. In a nod to these urban roots, the museum is conceived as a village. Each gallery stands as a unique unit that recalls the earthen structures of previous centuries. To reach the collection, however, visitors must travel across a pathway over the river and through native vegetation \u2014 it is a didactic journey that reinforces the role of the natural world as a precondition for the urban and cultural one displayed in the galleries.<\/p>\r\n

Green Leopard Lighting’s Flagship Store<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>Cun Design<\/span><\/a>, Zhongshan, China
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Showrooms<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The ancient town of Zhongshan, where large and small lamp manufacturers are everywhere, is located in \u201cthe capital of Chinese lighting.\u201d As a business, it can be challenging to stand out in a place where more than 3,600 shops compete in the same trade. Architectural scenography offers a unique strategy for memorable and effective branding, since most lighting stores stage lamps and fixtures in domestic scenes.<\/p>\r\n

In the showroom for Green Leopard Lighting, an art resin floor painted with water ghost green ink nods to the brand\u2019s name and logo; when illuminated with electric light, the floor emits a green aurora<\/a>-glow. The room itself is a geological study in projecting shapes that, like crystals in a cave, accentuate the various lamps and fixtures by strategically channeling interactions between light and shadow. The sum is a remarkable scenographic space that links brand and product by allowing the lights themselves to shine.<\/p>\r\n

\"architectural \"scenographic<\/p>\r\n

Al Musalla – The Mosque – Al Hosn Area<\/a> <\/strong>by <\/span>DCT Abu Dhabi<\/span><\/a>, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Architecture+Ceilings<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Al Musalla is a religious complex that also serves as a key component in the revitalization plan for the Qasr Al Hosn Fort\u2014Abu Dhabi\u2019s oldest building, constructed in the 18th century to protect the nascent city\u2019s only freshwater well. Drawing on its site\u2019s historical importance, the prayer rooms are separated into a series of small-interconnected buildings that emerge like rocks from the park\u2019s water feature. Their irregular geometric shapes evoke the distinctive mud crack patterns found in the coastal desert landscape, emphasizing the centrality of water in the city\u2019s history and foundations.<\/p>\r\n

This motif is carried throughout the buildings\u2019 interiors. Hexagonal and pentagonal shapes suspend from the ceiling; some are hollowed-out into skylights, while others are sculptural, closed volumes that hang like architectural stalactites. Yet, the design avoids totalizing parallels with caves by conjuring abstract star formations using accent pendant lights. In so doing, architectural scenography allows for an immersive spiritual experience that is grounded in the city\u2019s history yet far removed from its urban chaos.<\/p>\r\n

Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>Studio Gang<\/span><\/a>, Manhattan, New York
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Unbuilt Cultural<\/span><\/p>\r\n

New York\u2019s Natural History Museum has always been an eclectic building that has leaned into many additions, restorations, and renovations throughout its\u00a0long history<\/a>. The latest addition is timely and seeks to reignite public engagement with science. Currently, under construction, Studio Gang looked to natural processes when coming up with the design. In contrast to the various historical revivals (Beaux-Arts, Richardsonian Romanesque, and Victorian Gothic), the new building favors timeless architectural scenography.<\/p>\r\n

The textural, curvilinear treatment of interior and exterior walls\u2014 composed of thick, pale blocks with amorphous window openings\u2014is seemingly more akin to geological formation than architectural design. This approach makes a statement about the contents within the museum and aims to create an immersive, scenographic environment that encourages visitors to actively explore. The continuous, flowing spatial experience engenders a participatory sense of discovery, as visitors move beneath and across connective bridges and along sculpted walls.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\"architectural \"scenographicReykjanes Retreat<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>Some Space<\/span><\/a>, Reykjavik, Iceland
<\/span>2019 A+Awards Jury Winner, Unbuilt Hospitality<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Situated in a lava field on Iceland\u2019s Western coast, this scenographic hotel offers an escape for guests looking to unplug, disconnect, and get in touch with the vast natural surroundings. The architectural scenography is a staged journey from a winding road that weaves through the rocky, windswept landscape, to the cluster of metallic domes that draw on the other-worldly aesthetic of the landscape.<\/p>\r\n

Metallic facade cladding produces soft reflections that capture changes in lighting conditions; the material also evokes the exterior of a spaceship, further underscoring the transportive aspect of the scheme. Small pathways radiate from the main house (where communal activities take place) and lead to private cabins scattered around the lava field. The interior design revels in local materials such as driftwood, wool, and volcanic rock, creating cozy but unfamiliar spaces that are perfectly primed for digital detox.\"architectural\"scenographic<\/p>\r\n

Forest of Numbers<\/a><\/strong> by <\/span>emmanuelle moureaux architecture + design<\/span><\/a>, Tokyo, Japan
<\/span>2020 A+Awards Jury Winner, Architecture+Color<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“<\/span>Shikiri<\/span><\/em>” is a Japanese neologism coined by architect Emmanuelle Moureaux to describe the act of dividing and creating space with color. This installation fills the 21500 sq ft White Cube exhibition room with 100 colors. Conceived to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the National Arts Center in Tokyo, the fabric of the space is laden with symbolism. More than 60,000 pieces of suspended numeral figures from 0 to 9 are regularly aligned in three-dimensional grids to visualize the coming decade.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The ten layers of the installation represent ten years; each layer consists of 4 digits that express the corresponding year, such as 2, 0, 1, and 7 for 2017, randomly positioned on the grids. A pathway cuts through the center of the room, inviting visitors to enter the numerical forest and to see, touch, and feel colors with their senses; the scenographic environment heightens their awareness of the emotive power of color in their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
