The Event Narrative:
The Brief:
Nanyang Tech University is an educational institution that has prided itself on mathematics, science and engineering. So when a new design program was introduced in 2008, the University wanted to launch it in a big, iconic way. One of the fringe events planned was an informal open house party to welcome non-design students to explore the new school and see how design education was ‘different’. What did that mean? Perhaps taking some really boring classrooms and turning them into unique and creative spaces!
Quick Facts:
Scope: Experiential Branding / Strategy & Event Production
Client: Nanyang Tech University, School of Art, Design and Media.
Challenge: We are a new program opening in a bustling university of over 10,000 students. We want to showcase what the essence of design is through a launch event on a tight budget. We want science, engineering and medical student in the community to attend, and get to know us better. Event Design Budget: 2000 Dollars
Attributes of a successful event:
When it came to choosing the location, nothing screems 'learning' like classrooms. Taking three rooms side by side, we redesigned each room to reflect a different feeling and story.
As the evening arrived and thelights came on, the building turned into a dramatic stage... Students from all parts of the university were amazed to see how once ordinary classrooms were transformed into party spaces.
“Find beauty not only in the thingitself but in the pattern of the shadows,the light and dark which that thing provides.”
