Designing an experience, not just a place people come to.
This is like building a castle in your backyard and having all the local kids come to play.
I may have been doing this all my life.
Initially commissioned to design this exhibition in Melbourne, we were then asked to produce the same exhibition for the San Fransisco, Sao Paulo and finally Macau versions of the exhibition. I loved the chance to delve into Da Vinci’s life and works and find ways to make his work approachable in this environment as well as an educational opportunity for the public at large.
Part of a series of 3 small exhibitions for Melbourne aquarium to repurpose and highlight featured creatures as part of a campaign to revitalise the aquarium.
Working as part of a design team, we developed up 3 different options for this space. The final result was the Antarctic section, these are some of the original sketches and then the final build. The highlight for me was spending 2 weeks at The Australian Antarctic division viewing machines from down on the ice and going through hours of video footage to get inspiration for the design. Cold but fun.
