Role: Space Designer & Visualization Strategist
Firm: Aolab
Client: Teenie Weenie
Tools: Rhino, Unreal Engine 5 (UE5)
Project Narrative
“In Name of Us” was a curated retrospective and brand exhibition held at the Xian Suo Culture and Art Space. The exhibition explored Teenie Weenie’s brand evolution through four thematic lenses: Diversity, Togetherness, History & Redefine, and Exchange. My role focused on translating these abstract concepts into a clean, minimalist gallery environment that prioritized storytelling and collective consciousness.
Technical Execution & Impact
- • 3D Spatial Engineering: Utilized Rhino to develop the structural layout and spatial flow for the multi-zone exhibition. Ensured that the minimalist architecture provided a neutral yet powerful backdrop for the brand’s deep analysis of time and memory.
- • Advanced Real-Time Visualization: Leveraged Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) to create high-fidelity renders, providing a sophisticated preview of lighting, shadows, and materiality. This allowed the client to experience the “atmosphere” of the gallery before fabrication began, ensuring total alignment on the brand’s “Royal Club” aesthetic.
- • FF&E Curation & Sourcing: Hand-selected and sourced specific furniture elements—including bespoke benches, display closets, and communal tables—to ground the exhibition’s abstract themes in physical intimacy and functionality.
- • Zonal Programming: Collaborated on the spatial transition between the four exhibition sections, ensuring a fluid pedestrian experience that allowed visitors to “walk through” the brand’s history without boundaries.
