The curiosity to explore the world within and beyond humans is endless, and the question of what makes a human being, and what humans are made of, has been explored since time immemorial. The theme of this exhibition, Beneath the Skin, takes us on a journey from the macrocosm to the microcosm of the human body, to consider how people are built, how they work together, and even what people are made of. As our technology advances, will people still discover worlds that are more microscopic than microscopic particles? What exactly are we people made of? What is really under the skin?

With undergraduate and postgraduate education, a deeper understanding of the direction of exhibitions in interior design has emerged. In my second year of study at the RCA, I have likewise chosen exhibition design as my direction. I have learned how to start designing spaces in exhibitions with content in mind. Exhibition design is not only about fun and experience but also about conveying the message and knowledge conveyed by cultural institutions to achieve a better understanding of the purpose of the exhibition. How to convey the content through the space is of paramount importance.
Section A-A –
Section A-A focuses on the flow of the exhibition from the original lift entrance to the 4th floor in relation to the transparent lift from top to bottom.
Section B-B –
Section B-B focuses on the changes in overall projection, and the changes in order from macro to micro beneath the human skin.
AXO –
The main flow shows visitors entering from the entrance and using the original lift to go up to the 4th floor to start the exhibition, and the transparent lift going down to the basement to finish the exhibition.
Outside View –
This is the outside final look of the vertical exhibition. I have retained much of the original window structure, using firm black-out windows to control the light entering the exhibition, achieving the effect of the exhibition becoming darker and darker into the human body. There are also figures on the outside of the windows to indicate approximately how many times this level has been expanded, with the projection forming an image viewed through a microscope.
Overall observation of the vertical relationship of the exhibition, including the flow of people, the vertical relationship between contents, etc. Analysis of sections, axonometric drawings etc. gives a better understanding of the overall relationship of the exhibition.

View of Start the Exhibition
In this layer the main recreation is the feeling of standing on top of the skin and starting to enter the human body. It mainly shows the things on the outside of the person, such as skin, hair, nails, etc.
View of Human Organs and Systems

View of Void Space Human Organs and Systems
With the advancement of primitive basic medicine and anatomy, one can clearly know the internal organs of the human body, the distribution and functions of the five internal organs, etc.
View of Human Tissues
View of Human Nerves Tissues
View of Void Space Human Tissues
With the invention of the primitive microscope, it became clear that organs, for example, were made of tissue, and that the form and function of the different tissues made up of different organs were very different.

As science progressed and modern medical devices such as microscopes became available, people began to recognize that different tissues and organs are made up of different types of cells to do their work and that the form and function of different cells are very different.

After the invention of the electron microscope, people became aware of the double helix structure of specific DNA and began to study the effects and changes of genes on people's bodies.

View of Cafe
With the invention of mass spectrometers and other instruments, people began to explore the world of microscopic particles, but they still could not really see this microscopic world, only the trajectories of particles with the help of instruments.
