Located in Xiamen Fujian, HTK2038 is a multi-dimensional, interactive realization of an educational and entertainment complex that unites interdisciplinary expertise and artists to create an immersive interstellar experience.



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



The HTK2038 creative and client team envisioned a physical multiverse environment with cutting-edge visuals, such as spacetime abstractions, cosmic phenomena, and warp speed travel. By combining computer-generated imagery and animations on high-resolution LED panels along with customized audio resonances, guests can fully immerse themselves in interstellar expeditions through solar flares, auroras, explosions, and nebulae.



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



The investigation focuses on integrating physical and virtual dimensions through design, construction, and visual technologies. It involves organic metallic surfaces and kinetic mechanical structures for a transformative spatial experience. Specialized lighting effects and abstract animations on high-resolution LED panels enhance senses and imaginations with outer space and natural visuals. Extensive research was conducted to create an authentic artistic experience based on our limited understanding of the universe. We utilized materials such as glass-reinforced-gypsum, lacquer paint, marble flooring, metal mesh, tempered glass, mirrors, wallpaper, ceramic tiles, and stainless-steel panels. Additionally, we studied and printed 3D models to finalize panel shapes and joint details for construction.



The opening of HTK2038 in December 2023 has swiftly established it as one of the most sought-after destinations for guests of all ages.
