The deformation and distortion on exhibition materials is the process to alter regular entity models or raw materials into other forms. To transform monotonous and impassive shapes to complicated lively ones in exhibition design , to transform flatness into curves or concave – convex shapes, to make the 3D shape more varied in representation, common creation ways to change the target sheet object into the crumbs (such as : to process the geometries with relief and line engraving treatments in the purpose to achieve the concave – convex deformations) are:
(1) skeleton deformation: regardless of the volume size, base the reverse modeling theories, to intersect, interlude, stretch, or bend them with the most simple axis structures to achieve the deformations and spatial arrangements.
(2) the stretch deformation stretched or expanded the overall structures, to make the model shape deforms, to exaggerate to represent the model personalities.
(3) The twist deformation: use the tweened order on size, directions, positions, follow the rhythms sequence, to produce the final space motion effect.
(4) ellipsis deformation is to outline the model main parts and vision centre, thus it omitted the minors to make the missing parts be in one’s hunt areas imaginarily to produce the final exaggerated overall effect.
(5) distortion deformation is the process to bend or distort the line, surface, volume model or materials to make it distorted and rotated to achieve the final exaggerated effect.
(6) topology deformation can achieve a arbitrary stretch , rotation in a flexible motion manner, it outlined both the cohesion effect for subparts and its feature, above can be concluded as four steps, first, find out the deformation base tone fitted to the theme, and the horizontal series, second, research the original model or material feature, to exaggerate to deform it at the noticeable part, third. disassemble the model structure, re-construct to combine it inversely. Four, transit between concretization and abstraction, abstraction to abstraction and repeat these over and over.
Anyway, model beauty consist in the vision while inspiration beauty in mind, the successes of a exhibition design must establish on the full mastery of materials features, the spatial beauties even consist in if the arrangement and material forms organized and combined properly, to gain good exhibition space effect, the key is to find the just combination to keep the opposites to each Inner relatives between Different materials be in a Balance, while maintained each its personalities, also keep them overall in harmoniousness.
