Abstract

Exhibitions are an organized means of displaying works of art, science, industries, and various production methods with the aim of attracting public interest, enhancing public taste, and expanding the base of commercial exchange.
The research problem is to employ technological development in flexible temporary exhibitions to reach integrated designs that provide broad solutions to the challenges facing traditional exhibitions. The research also aims to employ modern technology and technical innovations in creating temporary exhibitions, and to develop light metal construction systems using the principles of flexible architecture. The research hypothesis is that modern technology and materials in the design of temporary exhibitions lead to improving the visitor’s experience, which increases his interaction with the exhibits. Modern technology and materials also allow greater flexibility and the ability to adapt to changes in requirements and surrounding conditions.
The research adopted both a descriptive and analytical approach by describing and analyzing the role of technology in developing the materials used in flexible temporary exhibitions, and its impact on design and function. The inductive approach is through a study of temporary exhibition projects, drawing general conclusions about the role of raw materials technology, analyzing the relationship between the selection of raw materials and the technology used, and the results that were achieved in these projects. One of his most important findings is that the application of raw materials technology and general principles of flexible architecture in the construction of temporary exhibitions contributes to enhancing the design and construction methods for temporary exhibitions.
