Narrative Installation Educational Institution Building

Narrative Installation

Narrative Installation is a history museum created for an art academy campus in Guangzhou, China. The project transforms an existing campus building into a spatial narrative device that combines architecture, exhibition, landscape, and immersive media. Nine thematic zones are arranged in a loop across about 2315 square meters and are linked by a central foyer with two entrances. Touch panels, motion-activated visuals, and narrative lighting allow visitors to move at their own pace. Lightweight structural retrofitting supports flexible spatial change.

Narrative Installation Educational Institution Building by Wu Duan was selected as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Narrative Installation Educational Institution Building was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2026. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition that honors exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
