Curatorial Narrative and Spatial Language in Cultural and Educational Exhibitions

Abstract

Abstract With the development of information media and the change of design concepts, the mode of cultural education has deepened from one-way linear to two-way circular. Lefebvre’s perspective is used in the study to uncover the curatorial narrative of cultural education exhibition space, and the ternary structure of cultural education spatial language is constructed from both time and space dimensions. At the same time, three multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are combined to optimize the spatial layout of cultural education, and according to the dominance of the solutions obtained by the algorithms, the optimal set of spatial layout solutions for cultural education is further sought. Finally, using the S cultural education exhibition hall as a case study, the characteristic relationship between spatial languages is reflected by studying the measures of centrality and spatial self-explicitness of the cultural education space. The sample cultural education exhibition’s spatial intelligibility is 0.3017, which establishes the aesthetic foundation of the spatial language, according to the results. The symbolic meaning of spatial language is constructed by the degree of spatial synergy, which is 0.51. To sum up, this study offers new ideas for the transformation and development of current cultural and educational exhibitions.
