5.9.11
Course Requirements
Students will work in groups for the entire quarter and each group will:
> Create an Historical Exhibition utilizing an existing storefront that ranges in size from 1,000 square feet to 3,000 square feet.
> Tell a historical event about a particular city within the United States. The history must directly relate to the local community.
> Develop architectural drawings that render space allocation and exhibit needs and gather an inventory of materials for fabrication.
> The exhibition must include a narrative, maps, interactive components, animated features/ media projections, historical facts and artifacts, information signage and way finding systems.
> The design of the exhibit can be rendered on the computer or by building 3-D maquettes and photographing these structures. The most important is to communicate to the client and fabricator how the exhibit will look once it is completed.
> Each group will present their results through a projected presentation that includes both static representations and interactive demonstration; and 11 x 17 bound specification booklet. In the book it must include a final comp for production for the fabricator. For example actual type font, size, illustration and so forth.
What has your group developed to date:
Is there a clear narrative?
Do we have a floor plan with content specific information?
Do we have an established visual identity to include logo, font, color, image presentation?
Do we have a materials list such as concrete, metal, wood and so forth?
What do our typicals look like, do we have clear and identified sketches of signage, kiosks and maps?
Do we have text and image that will go into the typicals?
Have we begun to outline our interactive component of our museum (ie content map/site map, data/content, story board and prototype rendition, sound, final)
Have we considered how we are going to best demonstrate this to the client in the final book (this would be the document sent to the fabricator)?
