运河创想中心位于天津华侨城LOFT美亚创意文化园内,展馆依托近60年历史的美亚汽车厂房进行改造,馆内分设一层华侨城品牌中心和二层运河文化中心,展览面积为1900平方米。根据客户需求,直径叙事(DND)选择大运河历史文化、天津西青文旅规划和华侨城企业品牌三个角度作为叙事研究和展览设计的基础。通过装置化和新媒体的设计语言呈现华侨城对当下运河城市的发展思考以及华侨城企业发展与品牌文化。运河创想中心作为华侨城LOFT美亚创意文化首开区已于2018年8月31日顺利开馆。

The exhibition space located in LOFT (by OCT Tianjin) was transformed from a Meiya car factory with a 60-year-old history. The venue has two floors, with the OCT Branding Center in the first floor and the Canal Innovative Center in the second floor. The exhibition space totals at 1900 sqm. Based on the client’s need, DND provided research and design from three different approaches: history and culture of the canal, cultural tourism plans of Xi Qing District in Tianjin, and OCT Branding. The exhibition presents thoughts on development of canal city and OCT culture. The Canal Innovative Center opened in August 2018.​
