Science Museum Gallery- Millennium Space

This is an exciting entrance that is relevant to the gallery and builds anticipation. The red lighting is used efficiently to build atmosphere.

Having parts of the exhibition out of glass makes the exhibition appear less distant and more inviting and friendly

The models are being utilised to visually breakdown and convey information that is friendly to younger and older generations.

Having some models that are interactive such as the earthquake model above aids Kinaesthetic learners. Turning the handle provides some tactile feedback which can be helpful to grasp the concept that is being demonstrated.

Having some interactive displays can be engaging as opposed to reading an inanimate slab of information.

Colour has been used well to separate and differentiate separate topics with subtlety.

This is a great example of an interactive exhibition. This employs sight, sound and physical feeling to give an example of what an earthquake may feel like.

Whilst it cant emulate an earthquake with great accuracy it is still a good demonstration that is engaging.

Secondary Research, Gallery of Enzo Ferrari Museum This Gallery compliments its exhibitions by continuing the flowing and curvy shapes of the cars.

The interior space has been arranged effectively to eliminate any dead ends and the space appears to naturally guide you through the space.

The large windows offers clean and natural daylight which is also aided by other lights to construct a clean and modern aesthetic. This is also

The space has a consistent and industrial aesthetic which creates a space where these mechanical objects can fit in.

However the lighting is relatively ineffective, it is a relatively dimly lit space. This makes photographing the space extremely difficult.

There is little to no interaction, and all the information are printed on plaques. This may be uninteresting to the younger generation and they are most likely to not read the information at all.

The space has a couple dead ends which disturbs the storyline a little bit.

The raised platform offers a new viewing angle and perspective to these large objects. However the elevator has been out of order for a while , shown by the panoramic photograph below, which excludes wheelchair users to this vantage point.

The rough and worn textures should compliment the aged aircrafts and artefacts. Allowing it too fit in with the architecture.

The forms are energetic and dynamic, however it takes up a lot of space and may be overly distractive to the artefacts.

I believe the design will be more functional and space efficient, whilst maintaining the flow, if the folds were a little less dramatic.

I have chosen to use a lift for wheelchair asses instead of the initial idea of the ramp. The angel would need to be too shallow for a hand powered wheelchair to use, taking up too much of the restricted space.

A model I have chosen to include demonstrates how pistons work, It requires the visitors to turn the handle- this offers them understanding due to the tactile feedback and making them interact.

I have also chosen disassembled and cryosections of engines to get a better and deeper look into the innerworkings of these machines. I belive this offers a more immersive experience than before.

The airplanes on the floors were chosen due to their higher wings. I have also raised them on a platform; this allows visitors more space to move, whilst providing some blockade forcing the viewers to move and interact.

I have chosen to replace the plaques of information with flexible touch screen displays, possible due to the now standard OLED display technology.

I have done this to keep the consistency with the flowing architecture. This also encourages interaction.

The support pillars of the raised platforms also acts as shelves to display other artefacts
