Contemporary production and construction services for various exhibition halls have evolved from traditional "container-style" buildings into composite spaces integrating artistic expression, technological interaction, and narrative experience. Their signature large-span curved surfaces, parametric skins, and immersive audio-visual environments pose unprecedented challenges to construction precision and collaborative efficiency. Furthermore, projects often face stringent time constraints—such as aligning with major festivals, international exhibitions, or urban renewal milestones.1. Design Phase: BIM-Driven Integrated Forward DesignFrom the project's inception, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform was used to integrate data from multiple disciplines, including architecture, structure, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), exhibition design, and multimedia. Through parametric modeling, complex geometric forms such as hyperboloid roofs and irregular walls were precisely transformed into constructable digital components. Simultaneously, projection surfaces, sound reflection points, and sensor locations required for immersive experiences were pre-embedded in the model for lighting environment simulation, sound field analysis, and pedestrian flow simulation. This proactive "design-as-construction" collaboration avoids structural rework caused by changes in exhibition requirements later on.2. Production Stage: Factory Prefabrication and Modular IntegrationTo reduce on-site work time, production and construction services for various exhibition halls extensively utilize factory prefabrication. Irregularly shaped steel structure nodes are precisely shaped using five-axis CNC cutting and welding robots; GRC, UHPC, or composite aluminum panel curtain wall units undergo curved surface casting, surface treatment, and embedded part installation in the factory; even some immersive exhibits are integrated and tested in the factory as "building-exhibition integrated units." This "building exhibition halls like building cars" model transforms on-site wet work into dry assembly, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency.3. Construction Stage: Precision Lifting Guided by Digital TwinsOn-site construction relies on high-precision total stations, laser scanning, and AR-assisted positioning systems to achieve "millimeter-level" layout and installation. Before hoisting large, irregularly shaped components, 4D construction simulation was used to rehearse the hoisting path and temporary support scheme. During hoisting, the measured point cloud of the component was compared with the BIM model in real time, and its posture was dynamically adjusted. Simultaneously, "invisible systems" such as electromechanical pipelines, network cabling, and media equipment brackets were constructed concurrently with the main structure, avoiding damage to the completed interior finishes during later excavation.4. Exhibition Integration: Reserved Interfaces and Agile Response MechanismTo address the potential delays in curated content, the exhibition hall incorporated standardized interfaces in its structural and electromechanical design: such as reserved sliding rail power supply systems in the ceiling, modular power and data cable wells in the floor, and universal mounting frames built into the walls. Once the exhibition plan is finalized, interactive devices, projection equipment, or acoustic panels can be quickly integrated without large-scale modifications. Some projects even adopted a "skeleton first, skin later" strategy, completing the main structure and infrastructure first, and then customizing the interior facade according to the final exhibition requirements.5. Multi-Party Collaboration: Integrated Project Delivery Management ModelFaced with the complexity of highly interdisciplinary projects, an increasing number of projects are adopting the IPD (Integrated Project Development) model, bringing together owners, designers, general contractors, exhibition teams, and equipment suppliers into a single responsible community. Through shared BIM platforms, regular collaborative meetings, and risk-sharing mechanisms, the traditional linear "design-bidding-construction" process is broken, enabling early problem detection, rapid decision-making, and optimal resource allocation.Providing production and construction services for various exhibition halls, simultaneously achieving high-precision irregular structures and immersive experience spaces within a limited timeframe, is essentially an extreme challenge of "time, precision, and collaboration." Only through digitalization as the link, factory production as the support, and integration as the path can imaginative design concepts be accurately, efficiently, and completely realized in the real world. This is not only a victory for construction technology but also a profound evolution of modern engineering organization.
