Environmental Analysis and Design Directions for Non-contact Exhibition Spaces

Abstract

Entering 2020, COVID-19 spread around the world. As a result, a non-contact, non-face-to-face culture established itself in everyday life. In addition, exhibition spaces, convention centers, museums, and other cultural arts fields are also looking for ways in which the public can safely view works, without coming into contact with other people and, potentially, viruses. Therefore, social distancing, closed, crowded, and close contact should not be used. This will increase the likelihood of contagion. However, due to its nature, the exhibition-culture industry is maintained through meetings of people [1]. Due to the nature of the exhibition space, many people are forced to gather in a specific place. So, in 2020, most exhibition-culture industry events and museums were not held. Accordingly, this study aims to grasp the current status of the exhibition-culture industry by way of a survey about its condition. Second, this paper analyzes the impact of social distancing and the changes brought by non-contact culture on the exhibition space. Third, we propose the direction in which the exhibition space should change in a non-contact environment. The purpose of this study is to provide a safe and comfortable exhibition for visitors in a non-contact environment. In addition, we intend to propose a safe and comfortable exhibition space to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 in the future. And it is meaningful to establish a non-face-to-face, safe interior architectural design strategy in the exhibition space. Furthermore, we intend to establish a non-face-to-face safe interior architecture design strategy in the exhibition space.
