  • Located inXiamen Fujian, HTK is a multi-dimensional, interactive realization of aneducational and entertainment complex that unites interdisciplinary expertiseand artists to create an immersive interstellar experience.


  • As our planet has been experiencing intensesolar activities in recent years, humanity is awakening to a higherconsciousness. With advancements in telescopic and photographic technologies,we can now visualize our universe more clearly than ever before. Yet, mankind'sfascination with intergalactic travel continues to grow rapidly.


  • The HTK creative and client teamenvisioned a physical multiverse environment with cutting-edge visuals, such asspacetime abstractions, cosmic phenomena, and warp speed travel. By combiningcomputer-generated imagery and animations on high-resolution LED panels alongwith customized audio resonances, guests can fully immerse themselves ininterstellar expeditions through solar flares, auroras, explosions, andnebulae.


  • The interactive journey begins with asequence of spatial experiences including: reception boarding deck, interactiveelevator chambers, multi-media grand concourse, hibernation pods, control deck,interactive HMI gaming, transportation capsules and private leisure andmeditation hubs.


  • The investigation focuses on integratingphysical and virtual dimensions through design, construction, and visualtechnologies. It involves organic metallic surfaces and kinetic mechanicalstructures for a transformative spatial experience. Specialized lightingeffects and abstract animations on high-resolution LED panels enhance sensesand imaginations with outer space and natural visuals. 


  • Extensive research wasconducted to create an authentic artistic experience based on our limitedunderstanding of the universe. We utilized materials such asglass-reinforced-gypsum, lacquer paint, marble flooring, metal mesh, temperedglass, mirrors, wallpaper, ceramic tiles, and stainless-steel panels.Additionally, we studied and printed 3D models to finalize panel shapes andjoint details for construction..


    • The opening of HTK in December 2023 hasswiftly established it as one of the most sought-after destinations for guestsof all ages.
