Summary:

KidZania – Abu Dhabi, is an activity center aimed at children aged 1-14 that acts as an entertaining and interactive careers fair, allowing visitors to engage in role-play activities that are designed to mirror real world careers. Each KidZania center is themed as an immersive child-size replica of a real city including buildings, shops, theatres, and vehicles.

As part of the design team at Paragon Creative, I was tasked with developing the building facades for a number of the structures located within the gallery space, such as the hotel, fire station, coffee shop, and animation studio. The design was carried out in two phases with the first being the development of the internal steel frameworks for each façade, and the second being the stylising of the building exteriors via the selection of various materials and finishes.
